The team has since added several depth players and a couple of new starters on defense. Check out our 2025 Falcons free agency tracker to follow along with every signing (updated 3/28/2025). Falcons sign TE Teagan Quitoriano The Falcons have signed tight end Teagan Quitoriano. The 25-year-old was selected by the Texans in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL draft out of Oregon State. He spent the last three seasons in Houston, recording nine catches for 146 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 23 career games (15 starts). Falcons sign kicker Lenny Krieg to 3-year deal According to a report from NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Atlanta Falcons have signed kicker Lenny Krieg to a three-year contract. The German-born kicker impressed at the NFL's International Player Pathway program pro day. Falcons sign KR Jamal Agnew to one-year deal According to NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo, the Falcons have signed Pro Bowl kick returner Jamal Agnew to a one-year, $2.5 million contract. Agnew previously played for special teams coordinator Marquice Williams in Detroit back in 2020. Falcons sign TE/QB Feleipe Franks Former quarterback-turned-tight end Feleipe Franks has returned to Atlanta. Franks made the Falcons roster as an undrafted free agent in 2021, appearing in nine games as a rookie. Last year, he played in 16 games for the Carolina Panthers. Vikings sign ex-Falcons WR Rondale Moore After visiting with four teams in free agency, former Falcons wide receiver Rondale Moore agreed to terms with the Minnesota Vikings. Moore did not play in a game last season after suffering a season-ending knee injury in training camp. Falcons sign safety Jordan Fuller, per report According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Falcons are signing veteran safety Jordan Fuller. The 27-year-old reunited with Falcons head coach Raheem Morris, who was Fuller's defensive coordinator in Los Angeles when the team won the Super Bowl in 2021. Rams sign ex-Falcons LB Nate Landman Linebacker Nate Landman has signed a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams. The former undrafted free agent was not expected to return to Atlanta once the team declined to sign his free agency tender. Landman, 26, has appeared in 36 games over the last three seasons. Falcons sign DL Kentavius Street On Monday, the Falcons officially announced a handful of moves that had been previously reported and one new signing. The team officially has brought back veteran defensive lineman Kentavius Street. The 28-year-old appeared in 13 games last season for Atlanta and is a good depth addition after losing Grady Jarrett. Falcons sign DL Morgan Fox Former Chargers defensive lineman Morgan Fox is signing with the Falcons on a two-year, $8.5 million contract, according to a report from the NFL Network. Fox, 30, appeared in all 17 games with three starts last season. For his career, he's recorded 27.5 sacks, 51 QB hits and 33 tackles for loss.

The former fifth-round pick has appeared in 45 games since entering the league in 2021. RB/PR Avery Williams signs with Eagles According to a report from NFL insider Dianna Russini, former Falcons running back/return specialist has agreed to a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. Last season, Williams returned 20 punts for 185 total yards, while returning 15 kickoffs for another 408 yards (27.2 yards per return). Falcons sign OL Brandon Parker On Thursday, the team announced it had re-signed veteran offensive lineman Brandon Parker. While he didn't play in a game for Atlanta last season, he can be a versatile depth piece for the team if he makes the 53-man roster in 2025. Falcons re-sign OT Storm Norton According to Norton's agency, "JL Sports," the Falcons are giving the veteran lineman a two-year contract. The 30-year-old spent the last two seasons in Atlanta, starting four games. Falcons re-sign LB Josh Woods Atlanta brought back linebacker Josh Woods, who appeared in five games for the team last season. While Woods is primarily a special teams contributor, he's an experienced veteran who adds depth to a defense that looks fairly thin at the moment. The 28-year-old has played for four different teams over his seven-year NFL career. Falcons re-sign OL Elijah Wilkinson The Falcons re-signed veteran offensive lineman Elijah Wilkinson on Wednesday. The 30-year-old has played at both guard and tackle and started nine games for Atlanta in 2022. After leaving for the Arizona Cardinals in 2023, Wilkinson returned to Atlanta last season and appeared in two games. Falcons re-sign guard Kyle Hinton In the third of the Falcons' Wednesday evening signings, the team brought back veteran offensive lineman Kyle Hinton. The former seventh-round pick has spent the last two seasons in Atlanta, making just one start. He's a good depth addition to the interior offensive line. Falcons re-sign WR KhaDarel Hodge The Falcons have brought back Pro Bowl wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge on a two-year, $6 million contract. Hodge caught the game-winning touchdown to defeat the Buccaneers in Week 5. The veteran also made several plays on special teams, blocking multiple punts in a Week 15 win over the Raiders. Falcons re-sign DL Ta'Quon Graham Atlanta agreed to re-sign veteran defensive lineman Ta'Quon Graham shortly after the start of the new league year. Graham, a fifth-round pick from the 2021 NFL draft, has appeared in 49 games with 16 starts. The 27-year-old signed a one-year deal, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Falcons agree to terms with CB Mike Ford According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Falcons have agreed to terms with cornerback Mike Ford on a two-year, $4 million contract. Ford played for the team in 2022, appearing in all 17 games with two starts. Falcons agree to terms with EDGE Leonard Floyd On Tuesday, the Falcons finally addressed their biggest need, agreeing to terms with veteran edge rusher Leonard Floyd on a reported one-year, $10 million contract. The former first-round pick has recorded at least 8.5 sacks in each of the last five seasons. Falcons agree to terms with CB Mike Hughes Hughes, 28, returns to Atlanta on a reported three-year, $18 million contract. The veteran cornerback gives the team more stability in the secondary behind A.J. Terrell. The former first-round pick started 15 games for the Falcons last season and played some of the best football of his career. Falcons agree to terms with LB Divine Deablo The Falcons agreed to terms with their first free agent on Tuesday morning. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the team is expected to sign linebacker Divine Deablo to a two-year, $14 million contract. The former third-round pick started 14 games last season for the Raiders. Deablo could be a replacement for Lorenzo Carter, who's also a free agent. Richie Grant agrees to terms with San Francisco 49ers According to a report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, former Falcons second-round pick Richie Grant has agreed to terms with the San Francisco 49ers on a one-year deal. Grant, 27, started 32 games for Atlanta from 2022-2023 but lost his job to Pro Bowl safety Justin Simmons in 2024. Simmons is also a free agent, although the Falcons may choose to go in a different direction or let DeMarcco Hellams take over at strong safety in 2025. Grady Jarrett agrees to terms with Chicago Bears The Falcons lost two starters to the Bears on Monday, with veteran Grady Jarrett following Dalman to Chicago on a reported three-year, $43.5 million contract. Jarrett has spent his entire 10-year career in Atlanta and should benefit from playing with a better supporting cast on the Bears. Drew Dalman agrees to terms with Chicago Bears As many predicted, the Falcons have lost starting center Drew Dalman to the Chicago Bears. The Bears signed Dalman to a three-year, $42 million contract on Monday afternoon. The deal includes $28 million in guaranteed money. Chicago continues to make big moves under first-year head coach Ben Johnson. The Falcons will now need to find a new starting center. Falcons release DT Grady Jarrett after 10 seasons Jarrett was released on Monday morning in one of the NFL's more shocking pre-free agency moves. While an extension was also possible, the Falcons opted to move on from the face of their defense for the last 10 NFL seasons. Jarrett should have plenty of interest around the league as a free agent. The Falcons freed up $16.2 million by cutting the veteran defensive lineman. Falcons extend LT Jake Matthews on 2-year deal Matthews signed a two-year, $45 million extension with the team on Sunday evening. According to Over The Cap's projections, the team saves around $11 million by extending the veteran left tackle. This was the first major move Atlanta made and makes the team cap compliant in time for the start of the new league year. Falcons sign long snapper Liam McCullough to extension While not as big as some of these other moves, the Falcons brought back Liam McCullough on a reported four-year extension last week. McCullough has been a steady part of the Atlanta's special teams unit for the last three seasons. The 27-year-old has quietly done his job and now gets rewarded with a little more job security. Falcons' updated salary cap numbers (projected) The Falcons freed up over $16 million by releasing Grady Jarrett and another $11 million by extending Jake Matthews. Prior to these moves, the team was nearly $6 million over the cap but now Atlanta has roughly $21 million in cap space entering free agency.
