Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Falcons are signing veteran EDGE Leonard Floyd to a one-year contract worth $10 million on Tuesday.
Floyd was just recently released by the 49ers, so it took very little time for him to catch on with a new club.
It’s worth mentioning that signing him won’t impact the team’s compensatory picks, given that he was released this offseason.
Floyd, 32, is a former first-round pick of the Bears back in 2016. He was in the final year of his four-year, $15.7 million contract when the Bears picked up his fifth-year option worth $13.22 million for the 2020 season.
However, Chicago released Floyd before the option became guaranteed at the start of the 2020 league year. He later agreed to a one-year contract with the Rams.
The Rams and Floyd later agreed to a four-year, $64 million extension in 2021. However, the Rams released him last offseason and he eventually signed a one-year deal worth $7 million with the Bills.
In 2024, Floyd appeared in all 17 games for the Bills and recorded 42 tackles, 8.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a pass defense.
