When we learned Adrian Clayborn was not going to be with the Patriots this season, the natural question to ask was whether he might return to the Falcons. Clayborn played some of his best football as a rotational defensive end for Atlanta, after all, and he played well and graded out well in 2018 despite not piling up sacks.
The answer to that question, happily, appears to be yes.
Veteran DE Adrian Clayborn is heading back to the Falcons, agreeing to terms with Atlanta, per a source.
