Wide receiver was definitely one of the Falcons’ post-draft needs, so Atlanta signed the speedy wideout to a one-year deal. and With his experience on offense and special teams, he has a strong chance to make the final 53.

In a corresponding move, the Falcons released defensive back John Reid.

After a long career in Atlanta that started as a scouting assistant in 2008, Scouting Director Anthony Robinson has been hired by Tennessee as its assistant GM.
