Falcons bring back defensive end Derrick Shelby on 1-year deal

The Atlanta Falcons are bringing back defensive end Derrick Shelby in 2018 on a 1-year deal, according to his agent David Canter.

Atlanta originally released him earlier this month to clear cap space.

This move is a safe one for Atlanta as their attempt to trade for Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett was not successful as he was traded to the Eagles.

Getting a lot of deals done while 38,000 feet in the air. Congratulations to #TeamDEC client @DerrickShelbyII who will be signing a new 1 year deal and going back to the @AtlantaFalcons !
