Kevin King - Signs on with Atlanta King signed with the Falcons on Monday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Impact King, who sat out the 2022 season for personal reasons and then missed 2023 due to a torn Achilles that sustained during an offseason workout, will now look to secure a role in the Falcons' secondary after last seeing game action in 2021 with the Packers. During that campaign, the 2017 second-rounder recorded 29 tackles and a pick in 10 regular-season outings (six of which were starts).

Falcons again sign veteran defensive lineman Eddie Goldman after quick looks in 2022, 2023
The Atlanta Falcons are giving defensive lineman Eddie Goldman another chance to come out of retirement and resume his careerAPRIL 3 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Eddie Goldman - Back in the mix with Atlanta The Falcons signed Goldman on Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Impact The move arrives a day after Goldman came off the Falcons' exempt/left squad list. The 6-foot-3, 332-pound defensive lineman last saw regular-season action with the Bears in 2021, but now that he's been signed by Atlanta, the 30-year-old (who was a second-round pick by Chicago in 2015) will look to carve out a role in the team's defensive tackle rotation.

Taylor Heinicke - Accepts pay cut Heinicke took a pay cut in March to stay with the Falcons, reducing his $5 million base salary to $1.21 million, ESPN.com's Michael Rothstein reports.
Impact He also converted a $1.32 million roster bonus to a signing bonus and agreed to remove the $40,000 per-game roster bonuses for his contract. He's left with $2.53 million in real-money compensation for the second and final year of his deal, with a $4.53 million cap hit. Heinicke is in excellent position for the backup QB role behind Kirk Cousins, after Desmond Ridder was traded to Arizona for WR Rondale Moore in mid-March. The Falcons still have time to bring in competition, but it may not be a priority given that Heinicke's track record suggests he's qualified for the second spot on the depth chart. They'll at least need to bring in a camp arm or two, seeing as Cousins and Heinicke are the only QBs on the roster at the beginning of April.
