Tuioti-Mariner was released by the Atlanta Falcons earlier this week. He was in his third season with the organization, but his playing time was dwindling.

He moved to linebacker this past offseason after playing on the defensive line in years’ prior.

In six games this season, Tuioti-Mariner has two sacks and nine total tackles with two quarterback hits and one pass defended.
