Olamide Zaccheaus is fresh off a career season in Atlanta, one that saw him catch 31 passes for 406 yards and three touchdowns. Given that the Falcons basically have zero proven receivers, that Zaccheaus has the speed to be a problem for defenses at times, and that he’s a quality special teamer, it was fair to assume the team would welcome him back.
That seems to be a fair assumption, because the Falcons placed a right-of-first-refusal tender on him that’s valued at $2.433 million, per Adam Schefter by way of Zaccheaus’ agents. In short, that means the Falcons can match any offer Zaccheaus gets if another team is trying to poach him, which will likely discourage other teams from doing so.
