The Atlanta Falcons released cornerback Ashley Ambrose, receiver Shawn Jefferson and defensive tackle Shane Dronett on Friday to move more than $12 million under the NFL salary cap.

Cutting the three longtime veterans came one day after Atlanta re-signed Pro Bowl linebacker Keith Brooking to a seven-year deal worth approximately $41 million.
