Falcons LB Nate Landman earned $750K in performance-based pay for 2023

When Falcons linebacker Troy Andersen went down with an injury during Week 3 of the 2023 NFL season, it opened the door for former undrafted free agent Nate Landman to showcase his talents.

Landman started the final 14 games and became a consistent force on Atlanta’s front seven. He finished the season with 110 combined tackles, three forced fumbles, two sacks and an interception.

The 25-year-old earned himself some extra cash based on his 2023 performance. Landman received an extra $753,273 in performance-based pay, ESPN’s Michael Rothstein reported.

Landman ranked 21st in the NFL in performance-based last season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The exclusive-rights free agent was wisely re-signed by the Falcons early in the offseason.

Check out the full list of performance-based bonuses from 2023, as shared by Schefter below:

Atlanta Falcons re-sign former Buff Nate Landman

Nate Landman is locked in with the Atlanta Falcons for another season

On Wednesday, the Atlanta Falcons announced they’ve re-signed former Colorado Buffaloes football star Nate Landman to another one-year deal through the 2024 season.

The linebacker out of CU went undrafted in 2022 before being picked up by the Falcons. He appeared in seven games as a rookie in 2022 — mostly on special teams — before signing a one-year deal with Atlanta for the 2023 season.

In his second NFL season last fall, Landman stepped up in place of injury, starting 14 games at linebacker while racking up 110 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, two pass deflections, two sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception. He was third on the team in total tackles, fourth in TFLs and was tied for first in forced fumbles.

Landman became the first CU player to earn all-conference honors four times (two first-team, two second-team) and his 409 career tackles are tied for fifth-most in program history. Additionally, he led the Buffs in tackles in three different seasons.

Atlanta Falcons re-sign ERFA linebacker Nate Landman

The Falcons have re-signed exclusive rights free agent linebacker Nate Landman, the team announced on Wednesday

Falcons linebacker Nate Landman has been a pleasant surprise since signing with Atlanta as an undrafted free agent following the 2022 NFL draft. The former Colorado standout had a breakout season in 2023, starting 14 games in relief of Troy Andersen.

Landman, who finished the year with 110 tackles (66 solo), three forced fumbles, two sacks and one interception, was re-signed by the Falcons on Wednesday.

Since he has less than three years of playing experience, Landman was technically an exclusive rights free agent. This means that because the Falcons offered him a contract, no other team was allowed to sign him.

Atlanta has now re-signed three free agents. First, the team re-signed long snapper Liam McCullough, then added reserve lineman Ryan Neuzil on Monday.

Nate Landman enjoying huge second season in Atlanta

All-time great Colorado linebacker Nate Landman is putting up huge numbers in his second NFL season

The list of former Colorado football players in the NFL isn’t a big one, but Mason Crosby is making some headlines this month after joining the New York Giants.

But, one of the newest NFL Buffs is linebacker Nate Landman, who went undrafted out of CU before signing a free-agent deal with the Atlanta Falcons.

With his second season in the NFL approaching its end, Langman has appeared in 14 games so far and done incredibly well. Entering Week 17, Landman has 94 total tackles (56 solo) and a pair of sacks to go with an interception. He also has a pair of forced fumbles on top of that.

His interception came last month against Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray.

Landman earned plenty of Pro Bowl buzz and has a decent chance of finding his way onto the roster, which would be a massive accomplishment for the undrafted linebacker.

On Dec. 20, the Falcons posted that Landman had received the second-most Pro Bowl votes at inside linebacker for the NFC.

The Falcons finish their season with road games against the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints.

Falcons LB Nate Landman returned to practice Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday

After sitting out of Wednesday’s practice due to a thigh injury, Atlanta Falcons linebacker Nate Landman returned on Thursday, according to team reporter Terrin Waack.

Running back Cordarrelle Patterson and defensive lineman Calais Campbell were also back out there following a rest day.

Left tackle Jake Matthews was limited on Wednesday due to a hip injury, so we’ll have to wait until Thursday’s injury report comes out to learn his official status.

The Falcons will face off against the New York Jets this weekend on the road. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is back practicing with the team just 11 weeks after suffering an Achilles injury.

While it seems unlikely, there appears to be an outside shot the 39-year-old will make his return on Sunday. In the meantime, check out our latest batch of NFL power rankings going into Week 13.
