ESPN: DE Derrick Shelby brings depth
The Falcons continued to make moves in free agency on Thursday, reuniting with defensive end Derrick Shelby on a one-year contract. The veteran defender spent the past two seasons in Atlanta before being released by the club prior to the start of free agency.
Shelby provides depth for the defensive line, something the Falcons need, but he is also a capable run defender and has experience with this team and coaching staff.
