Falcons Sign Jamal Agnew to Boost Special Teams

The Atlanta Falcons have signed wide receiver and return specialist Jamal Agnew to a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million. Agnew, a former All-Pro and Pro Bowler, is known for his exceptional skills as a return man, with six career return touchdowns on punts and kickoffs. He spent the 2024 season on the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad following a leg injury in 2023. He previously played for the Detroit Lions and the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he contributed significantly to their AFC playoff run in 2022. Agnew's addition is expected to enhance the Falcons' special teams, as they ranked 20th in yards per kick return last season. His career stats include 746 receiving yards, five receiving touchdowns, and multiple impactful returns.
