Falcons Sign Azeez Ojulari to One-Year Deal in Georgia Homecoming
The former Georgia standout returns home after a hamstring-limited year with Philadelphia.
Overview
- NFL reporters Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported that Ojulari agreed to a one-year contract with Atlanta, with financial details not yet disclosed.
- Ojulari will not return to the Eagles after appearing in three games in 2025 and landing on injured reserve with a hamstring injury following 67 defensive snaps.
- The 2021 second-round pick by the Giants has 22 career sacks and 113 tackles, highlighted by eight sacks as a rookie.
- Atlanta’s interest dates to the 2024 trade deadline, and the signing is widely framed as a buy-low flyer for pass-rush depth if he stays healthy.
- He joins recent linebacker additions Christian Harris and Channing Tindall as the Falcons reshape their front seven following departures and roster turnover.
