Atlanta Falcons Secure Leonard Floyd Following 49ers Release
March 11, 2025 - 21:08
In a surprising turn of events, the Atlanta Falcons have signed edge rusher Leonard Floyd just hours after he was released by the San Francisco 49ers. Floyd, who recorded an impressive 8.5 sacks in the 2024 season, showcased his ability to pressure opposing quarterbacks, falling just short of teammate Nick Bosa's team-high of nine sacks.
The Falcons, looking to bolster their defensive line, see Floyd as a key addition to their roster. His performance last season demonstrated his capability to impact games significantly, making him a valuable asset as Atlanta aims to enhance its defensive strategy.
Meanwhile, the 49ers appear to be entering a phase of rebuilding, having made the difficult decision to part ways with Floyd. This move signals a shift in their approach as they look to reconfigure their roster for future success. As the Falcons welcome Floyd, fans are eager to see how his skills will translate in Atlanta's defensive scheme.
