Trufant had spent his entire career in Atlanta to this point, but he was released by his former team Monday afternoon.

In an injury-shortened 2019 in which he played just nine games, Trufant had 14 tackles, 4 interceptions and 7 pass defenses. Among those who played at least 20% of snaps, he ranked as the No. 32 cornerback on Pro Football Focus.
