Former Falcons offensive lineman Colby Gossett signed with the Cleveland Browns on Wednesday. The 27-year-old started four games at left guard for Atlanta last season.
Gossett, a sixth-round pick by the Vikings in 2018, previously played for the Browns from 2019-2021 but didn’t appear in a regular season game and spent time on the practice squad. The former Appalachian State guard is a quality backup with some versatility to play tackle if necessary.
We have signed G Colby Gossett.

The Falcons addressed the left guard position in the 2023 draft by trading up for Syracuse offensive lineman Matthew Bergeron in the second round. Bergeron, a former tackle, is expected to compete for the starting left guard spot this season.
We have Bergeron starting over Matt Hennessy in our latest Falcons lineup projection in 2023.
