NFL Quarterback Ben DiNucci Cut by Falcons Seventh Time

Ben DiNucci, a journeyman NFL quarterback, was cut by the Atlanta Falcons for the seventh time in his career following the preseason, prompting him to commemorate the moment with a viral photo of himself enjoying an 'airport beer' on social media. DiNucci, originally a seventh-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2020, has had multiple stints with NFL teams including the Broncos, Bills, and Saints, as well as a successful run in the XFL with the Seattle Sea Dragons, where he led in several passing categories and took the team to the playoffs. Despite the setbacks, DiNucci maintains a positive outlook, highlighting his five-year NFL career and participation in Sunday Night Football. The Falcons had signed him to provide depth after an injury to their fourth-string quarterback, but with Michael Penix Jr., Kirk Cousins, and Easton Stick ahead on the depth chart, it was difficult for him to secure a roster spot. DiNucci hinted at an upcoming career update, signaling that he remains engaged with his professional future despite the challenges. His lighthearted social media posts have resonated with fans who appreciate his resilience and humor amid the uncertainties of an NFL career.
