Now that the Atlanta Falcons have some clarity on their quarterback situation, they can begin to address some of the team’s many other needs.
On Tuesday evening, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that the Falcons are bringing safety Erik Harris back on a one-year deal.

Harris, 31, started 12 games for Atlanta in 2021, racking up 64 tackles (46 solo) and eight passes defended before a torn pectoral muscle ended his season prematurely.
The veteran safety had played well in the weeks leading up to his injury and the Falcons need depth in the secondary, so the move makes sense for a cash-strapped front office.
