WaltThis page lists all the 2026 NFL Signings for the Atlanta Falcons. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the Signings. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the Signings, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL Signings here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

🏈 2026 NFL Free Agent Signing Grades by Team (Synced 6.4.26)
- Total Signings: 5
- Average Grade: B (84.4)
June 2026 – Signings
Falcons re-sign WR Drake London (4 years, $141 million): B+ Grade
signed on 6/2/2026
Drake London has endured some poor quarterbacking in Atlanta, but that hasn’t stopped him from receiving a mega deal. London inked a 4-year, $141 million contract with $100 million of it being guaranteed.
London is now the third-highest-paid receiver in the NFL. London is definitely not the third-best receiver in the NFL, but he’s still very young (24) and has loads of potential. It would have been foolish for the Falcons to allow him to walk, so this signing has to be graded somewhat highly, but can’t quite be in the “A” range because it’s not a bargain by any means.

March 2026 – Signings
Falcons sign RB Brian Robinson (1 year, $2.5 million): B+ Grade
signed on 3/25/2026
Kyle Shanahan expressed how much he admired Brian Robinson’s game when he acquired the former Redskin running back to be Christian McCaffrey’s backup last year, so it’s interesting that Robinson is going to Shanahan’s former team.
More importantly, it’s telling that after what Shanahan said about Robinson last offseason, the 49ers weren’t willing to retain Robinson for a small sum of money. The Falcons appear to be getting a bargain, though it’s not quite clear if they are. Regardless, they needed a veteran backup for Bijan Robinson, so Brian Robinson makes sense in that role.

Falcons sign DE/OLB Azeez Ojulari (1 year): A Grade
signed on 3/11/2026
The Falcons used two first-round picks on edge rushers last April, but they still need help at the position because one of those players is facing 90 years in prison. Yikes! It makes sense for the Falcons to sign Azeez Ojulari from a needs perspective. The 1-year “prove it” contract is logical as well because Ojulari barely played in Philadelphia last year because of injuries. Ojulari is only 26, so I love this move as a risk-free, buy-low opportunity for Atlanta.

Falcons sign QB Tua Tagovailoa (1 year, minimum): A+ Grade
signed on 3/9/2026
It’s sad, but Tua Tagovailoa is washed up. His brain is scrambled from too many concussions. He’s a shell of what he once was. He was benched twice for Quinn Ewers last year. It was a complete disaster.
Wait, so why the A+ grade? Because the Falcons are getting Tagovailoa for the 1-year minimum. The Dolphins are footing the bill for his contract, so Atlanta doesn’t have to pay him anything. There’s a chance, albeit a very unlikely one, that Tagovailoa can finally bounce back and have a strong season. At the very least, he’ll provide some competition for Michael Penix Jr. I’m not expecting much, but there’s no downside, so why not?

Falcons sign WR Jahan Dotson (2 years, $15 million): D- Grade
signed on 3/9/2026
The Falcons must have watched Jahan Dotson’s college film prior to signing him because they never would have given him $15 million for his NFL work. Dotson has been a bum in the pros who has contributed nothing to either the Redskins or Eagles.
This was almost a Millen grade, but it’s just not enough money to meet the threshold. Still, $15 million for Dotson is absurd.
