Eddie Goldman - Back in the mix with Atlanta The Falcons signed Goldman on Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.

Impact The move arrives a day after Goldman came off the Falcons' exempt/left squad list. The 6-foot-3, 332-pound defensive lineman last saw regular-season action with the Bears in 2021, but now that he's been signed by Atlanta, the 30-year-old (who was a second-round pick by Chicago in 2015) will look to carve out a role in the team's defensive tackle rotation.

Taylor Heinicke - Accepts pay cut Heinicke took a pay cut in March to stay with the Falcons, reducing his $5 million base salary to $1.21 million, ESPN.com's Michael Rothstein reports.

Impact He also converted a $1.32 million roster bonus to a signing bonus and agreed to remove the $40,000 per-game roster bonuses for his contract. He's left with $2.53 million in real-money compensation for the second and final year of his deal, with a $4.53 million cap hit. Heinicke is in excellent position for the backup QB role behind Kirk Cousins, after Desmond Ridder was traded to Arizona for WR Rondale Moore in mid-March. The Falcons still have time to bring in competition, but it may not be a priority given that Heinicke's track record suggests he's qualified for the second spot on the depth chart. They'll at least need to bring in a camp arm or two, seeing as Cousins and Heinicke are the only QBs on the roster at the beginning of April.

Ray-Ray McCloud III - Inks deal with Atlanta The Falcons signed McCloud to a two-year deal worth up to $6 million Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact McCloud has agreed to terms with Atlanta after spending the last two years of his career in San Francisco. The 27-year-old wideout was primarily utilized as a return specialist in 2023, returning 24 punts and 10 kicks for 428 yards. McCloud played just 28 percent of the 49ers' offensive snaps last season, catching 12 of his 15 targets for 135 yards and no touchdowns. He's expected to have the opportunity to compete for a depth role at wideout this offseason, most likely behind both Drake London and Darnell Mooney.
