Report: Floyd to sign with Falcons on 1-year, $10M deal after 49ers release
The Atlanta Falcons are signing pass-rusher Leonard Floyd to a one-year, $10-million deal, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Floyd was released by the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday after he signed a two-year contract last offseason. The Falcons will be Floyd's fourth team in as many campaigns - he also spent time with the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams.
The 32-year-old played in all 17 games last season, totaling 42 tackles and 8.5 sacks. He's racked up at least 8.5 sacks in each of the last five campaigns.
Atlanta has struggled to get pressure on the quarterback in recent years. They haven't ranked inside the top 20 in sacks since 2017.
The Chicago Bears selected Floyd in the first round of the 2016 draft. He has 66.5 sacks in 138 career contests.
