Falcons' Taylor Gabriel: Reports to offseason workouts sans contract

Gabriel, a restricted free agent, reported to the Falcons' offseason workout program despite not signing his contract tender, ESPN's Vaughn McClure reports.

Analysis:

Gabriel was given a second-round tender worth $2.746 million, an offer sheet unlikely to be matched by another team. He's likely holding off in an attempt to work out a long-term deal and reporting to workouts without a contract in hand is a team-friendly move that can only help his case in landing a multi-year commitment.
