Atlanta brings back a useful rotational player for another year.
The Atlanta Falcons let Grady Jarrett go, and now have to figure out how to assemble a quality defensive line rotation out of what they have and who they’ll add. In addition to Ruke Orhorhoro, Zach Harrison, Brandon Dorlus, and David Onyemata, the Falcons will have Ta’Quon Graham as part of that rotation once again.
Apparently, it’s a one year deal for the former Falcons fifth round pick, and likely an affordable one. Jonathan Jones with CBS Sports had the news.
Falcons DL Ta’Quon Graham, a 2021 fifth-round pick for the team, is re-signing with Atlanta on a one-year deal, source says.

Graham is a useful reserve, and one I’m glad the Falcons brought back. Injuries have been a factor in his career thus far and he played in just 10 games last year because of that, but when he’s on the field Graham offers solid run defense and a little bit of a spark as a pass rusher. As a guy who will play somewhere between 20-30% of the defensive snaps—probably on the lower side with the Falcons prioritizing some of their young starters—Graham does fine work and can be relied upon so long as he’s healthy. With Jarrett and Eddie Goldman headed elsewhere—the Washington Commanders just signed him—that affordable, proven depth is important.
Welcome back, Ta’Quon Graham!
