The Atlanta Falcons have re-signed slot cornerback Dee Alford, a move that indicates those within the building genuinely believe that coaching was a bigger issue than ability in 2024.
The team had declined to tender Alford, a restricted free agent, earlier this offseason. They never did close the door on a reunion, however, and today the deal is done.

Alford was a gem in 2023. The defensive back arrived in Atlanta in 2022 as an unknown who had to jump-start his career in the Canadian Football League, but then he became a full-time starter in 2023 and 2024.
