This 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.

March 2026 – Signings
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.
