FLOWERY BRANCH – The Falcons sought to upgrade the tight end position this offseason by signing Jacob Tamme and Tony Moeaki in free agency.
Tamme received a two-year, $4 million contract with $400,000 guaranteed, while Moeaki, who’s been often injured, received a modest one-year, $744,000 deal. The two are expected to compete for the role of top pass-catching tight end when training camp opens on July 31.
“They (both) have these unique qualities down in the red zone, and can be featured on third down,” quarterback Matt Ryan said.
