Falcons set to sign tight end Feleipe Franks

Feleipe Franks was something of a meme in the Atlanta Falcons fanbase last time he was here. The rangy, athletic quarterback-turned-tight end was a seeming Arthur Smith favorite, but despite a lot of glowing words and development, he rarely saw the field for Atlanta.
