Both of these were important deals to get done, for different reasons. Hodge was unbelievable last year on special teams and had some big moments for the offense. Graham has been a solid rotational defensive line and with the departure of Grady Jarrett, the team needs to continue to solidify the depth.
KhaDarel Hodge, Ta'Quon Graham re-signings bring value and depth
KhaDarel Hodge's Pro Bowl season had many highlights. He was a special teams ace and provided one of the most exciting plays of the season against the Buccaneers. The Falcons need cheap depth on the offense so they can focus on fortifying the defense. This deal needed to get done, and we are all happy it did.
For Graham, he was more quiet due to injury. He only played in ten games and had 12 tackles. He is a better player than his stats showed.
In other news, Eddie Goldman won't be returning as he is signing with the Washington Commanders.
DL Eddie Goldman headed to the #Commanders on a one-year deal, per source.
