It’s not exactly news when rookies sign their initial contracts, as it’s much bigger news if they elect not to do so for some reason. That almost never happens. Still, it is exciting to officially have these players in the fold, and the Falcons have now signed two of them.
Rookie first round wide receiver Drake London, running back Tyler Allgeier, guard Justin Shaffer and tight end John FitzPatrick have all inked deals, per the team. You can probably expect more tonight as the team tries to get contracts done ahead of rookie minicamp, which begins tomorrow.
