The Atlanta Falcons have added depth at cornerback and a three-time Pro Bowler on special teams by signing Justin Bethel, who played his first six seasons with Arizona.
The 27-year-old Bethel joins guard Brandon Fusco and tight end Logan Paulsen as Atlanta's top free-agent additions. The Falcons have focused on re-signing their own players while hoping to work out an extension for quarterback Matt Ryan, who can be a free agent after the 2018 season.
Bethel leaves the Cardinals after three Pro Bowl appearances and two first-team All-Pro nods as a special teamer, but he didn't pan out as a defensive back.
