The Atlanta Falcons are signing quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to a one-year, league-minimum contract, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The agreement, reported via "The Insiders," brings the former first-round pick to Atlanta to join the Falcons roster for the upcoming season.
Per the report from Pelissero, the deal is considered finalized but cannot be made official until Tagovailoa is released by his current team on Wednesday. Once the release is processed and he clears the necessary hurdles to become a free agent, Tagovailoa is headed to Atlanta to sign the contract.
The one-year minimum deal provides the Atlanta Falcons with a veteran presence in their quarterback room with minimal financial commitment. The transaction marks a significant roster move for the Falcons as they look to finalize their depth chart following the news of Tagovailoa's impending departure from his previous club. Further details regarding the signing are expected once the league office processes the Wednesday release.
