New Atlanta Falcons signings fulfills depth needs on roster

The Atlanta Falcons recent free agent singings will bring needed depth and skills to the tight end and safety positions.

The Atlanta Falcons recently signed veteran tight end Lee Smith and veteran safety Erik Harris this week, two guys who will add depth and stability to their respective positions.

Let’s not kid anyone here, these signings are not your crowd-pleasing, big-name pickups like Todd Gurley last season. Neither one of these guys will make a game-changing or eye-popping impact on the team, nor will they become household names.

That’s not why they were signed though. Both Smith and Harris were signed because they fill a need on the Atlanta Falcons at a cheap price.
