The Facts:
The Falcons could not officially comment on potential interest on Leftwich, who could be released or traded in the near future, because Leftwich remains Jacksonville's property. However, Atlanta will not pursue Leftwich via trade or through free agency, a team official confirmed.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jaguars HC Jack Del Rio said Friday afternoon that Leftwich would be traded or released today. The Falcons are in the market for someone to compete for the No. 3 quarterback job behind starter Joey Harrington and backup Chris Redman. Casey Bramlet currently is the third quarterback on the roster. According to Journal-Constitution staffer Steve Wyche, the team plans to wait until after leaguewide cuts today to see whether it wants to claim a player off waivers. Some possible candidates include Washington's Mark Brunell and Oakland's Andrew Walter.
