On Saturday, the Atlanta Falcons signed two veteran defenders. The Falcons needed to beef up their trenches before the start of the upcoming season.
The Atlanta Falcons needed to fix the D-line this offseason
The Falcons had issues at the defensive end last season. The team was expected to try to land help at that position with their No. 8 pick in the draft; instead, they selected Michael Penix Jr. in the shock of the weekend. The Falcons added Edge Bralen Trice and defensive tackles Ruke Orhorhoro and Brandon Dorlus later in the draft.
