FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- For the second straight day, the Atlanta Falcons have made a big splash -- and indicated just how serious they are about contention in 2024.
The Falcons signed free agent safety Justin Simmons, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, to a one-year, $8 million contract Thursday, Athletes First, which represents Simmons, announced Thursday. He'll join fellow Pro Bowl selection Jessie Bates III to form one of the best safety combinations in the NFL.
On Wednesday, Atlanta traded a third-round pick to the New England Patriots for pass rusher Matthew Judon, filling a longtime need.
