Falcons release CB Hill, sign S Giordano (AP)
The Atlanta Falcons have released former first-round pick Tye Hill and signed safety Matt Giordano. Hill was the 15th overall pick in 2006 by St. Louis. After three disappointing years with the Rams, he was dealt to Atlanta shortly before the start of last season for a seventh-round pick. In eight games with the Falcons, Hill had seven tackles and one interception.
