The Atlanta Falcons have addressed a pressing need by reaching a one-year, $10 million deal with edge rusher Leonard Floyd, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced.

On the same day that Leonard Floyd was released by the San Francisco 49ers, the edge rusher agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal with the Atlanta Falcons on Tuesday, ESPN and NFL.com reported.

Falcons CB Mike Hughes is set to return to Atlanta after agreeing to terms on three-year, $18 million contract

ESPN's Bill Barnwell considers former Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett one of the big winners in free agency. Jarrett turns 32 next month and is coming off of a pair of sub-par (by his standards) seasons influenced by injury.

Here's a breakdown of every 2025 NFL free agent signing by the Atlanta Falcons and how each will impact the upcoming season: The former Raider will sign a two-year deal. What it means: The Falcons are low on salary cap space and were always going to be looking for affordable options with upside on defense.

Atlanta has Kaden Elliss, Troy Andersen, JD Bertrand, Nate Landman and Josh Woods on the roster at inside linebacker, but Landman is a restricted free agent who did not receive a tender offer from the team and Andersen has had issues staying healthy since being drafted in the second round in 2022.

The Falcons are bringing back one of their starting corners. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, cornerback Mike Hughes is signing a three-year deal with Atlanta. Fowler notes the contract is worth $18 million.
