Vellano was released by the Cowboys on Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old vet did not play for the Cowboys last season. Vellano is now five years removed from his best season where he appeared in 16 games for New England and registered 54 combined tackles. The Maryland-product appears to still have some juice left in the tank, but the window of opportunity is shrinking.

Vellano was waived Tuesday by the Falcons, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vellano was waived in order to create a roster spot for the newly signed Sean Weatherspoon. Vellano was originally signed for depth purposes on the defensive line, but his services were no longer needed upon the return of Courtney Upshaw (ankle).

Vellano signed with the Falcons on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
With Vic Beasley (hip) and Courtney Upshaw (ankle/knee) both potentially out for multiple weeks, the Falcons signed Vellano to bolster their depth on the defensive front. Vellano will likely serve as a depth option until both players can return to the field.
