FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – The Falcons announced the signing of nine players to reserve future contracts on Monday afternoon.
For those who need an explanation of what a "futures contract" is, it's a contract that will officially take effect once the new league year begins in early March. NFL roster sizes will expand to a 90-player max at the beginning of the new league year, but they must stick to a 53-man roster until that point.
A futures contract is essentially an agreement that a player will be under contract with a team once the new league year begins.
Here is a list of the players the Falcons have signed to a futures contract:
- Marcelis Branch, S
- Daniel Brunskill, OL
- Deante Burton, CB
- Reggie Davis, WR
- Alex Gray, TE
- Garrett Grayson, QB
