When having to release 37 players, there are multiple tough decisions that head coach Raheem Morris has to make as he continues to get ready for the 2024 NFL season. There weren't a whole lot of surprises at the roster cut deadline for Atlanta, but the release of EDGE Demone Harris did raise an eyebrow.
