It was reported last week by The Athletic’s Jeff Schultz that the Falcons had agreed to terms with free-agent cornerback Darqueze Dennard.
However, the team didn’t officially sign him until this morning.
Falcons officially sign CB Darqueze Dennard

In eight seasons, the former Bengals CB has racked up 268 tackles (200 solo), three interceptions and 22 passes defended.
Dennard would be best utilized as a nickel, although he has the versatility to line up wherever the Falcons need him most.
With so much youth and inexperience at the cornerback spot, Dennard’s veteran presence is a welcome addition that brings some much-needed leadership to Atlanta’s secondary.
