It was unclear how many of last offseason’s one-year signings would return to the Falcons in 2022, but you had to figure some would. That was particularly true at safety, where the team never really fully invested in Richie Grant and Jaylinn Hawkins as starters last year and figured to want to re-add either Duron Harmon or Erik Harris to compete with them this year.
We’ll see on Harmon, but Harris is coming back, per NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
Harris, who will be 32 pretty soon, wound up starting 12 of the first 13 games for the Falcons in 2021 and only missed the final four due to an injury.
