The Atlanta Falcons have turned the page on the 2024 NFL season, signing 12 players to reserve/future contracts following Sunday’s 44-38 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers.

Reserve/future contracts do not count against the salary cap or roster limit until the new league year begins on March 12. The Falcons signed 11 players from their practice squad, including quarterback Emory Jones and running back Elijah Dotson.

Offensive lineman Joey Fisher is a free agent who previously spent time on the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad. Check out the full list below.
