Falcons Sign Ex-Patriots Guard Layden Robinson After Rookie Minicamp Tryout

The low-cost move gives the former Patriots starter a chance to rebuild under respected line coach Bill Callahan.

Overview

  • Atlanta signed offensive lineman Layden Robinson on Monday after he earned a deal out of the Falcons’ rookie minicamp tryout.
  • A 2024 fourth-round pick by the Patriots, he started 11 games as a rookie but graded poorly according to Pro Football Focus.
  • New England waived him with an injury designation and released him in August 2025, then the Raiders added him before waiving him on May 2, 2026.
  • In Atlanta he will compete for a backup interior line spot against Kyle Hinton, rookie Ethan Onianwa, and Andrew Stueber.
  • Reporters note his issues have been technique-related, and some expect he may profile as practice-squad depth as Callahan works to refine his game.
