The Atlanta Falcons have signed three more free agents, officially adding safety Jordan Fuller, wide receiver/return specialist Jamal Agnew and tight end Feleipe Franks on Thursday evening.
All three players will fill immediate needs in Atlanta. Fuller replaces Justin Simmons, Agnew replaces Avery Williams, and Franks replaces Ross Dwelley.
Fuller, 27, spent his first four NFL seasons with the Los Angeles Rams before signing with the Carolina Panthers as a free agent last year. Fuller has started 55 career games and was the starting safety for the Rams' Super Bowl team in 2021.
The former sixth-round pick played for Falcons head coach Raheem Morris for three years in Los Angeles. Fuller appeared in nine games for the Panthers last season, recording 54 tackles (28 solo), one forced fumble and one pass defended. He has nine career interceptions.
Agnew, 29, is another addition who has prior experience with Atlanta's coaching staff. The Pro Bowl return man spent the 2020 season with Falcons special teams coordinator Marquice Williams in Detroit. Over seven NFL seasons, Agnew has recorded 77 catches for 746 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
The former Lions standout has returned 124 punts for 1,280 yards and four touchdowns, adding 3,112 yards and two touchdowns on 122 kick returns. A former defensive back, Agnew switched to wide receiver in his fourth season. He can help provide depth now that Rondale Moore has signed with the Minnesota Vikings.
Last but not least, Franks returns to Atlanta after playing 16 games for the Carolina Panthers last season. The former undrafted free agent played quarterback during his rookie season in Atlanta before Arthur Smith moved him to tight end in 2022.
Former Falcons linebacker Lorenzo Carter signed with the Tennessee Titans on Thursday. Carter started 11 games last season but was not expected to return once the team added Divine Deablo and Leonard Floyd in free agency.
