Longtime nemesis Sean Payton continues to haunt the Atlanta Falcons. San Francisco 49ers linebacker was a player who the Falcons were reportedly showing interest in. He signed with Payton's Denver Broncos on a three-year deal worth up to $35 million.
Former center Drew Dalman is set to sign a three-year, $42 million deal with the Chicago Bears, according to multiple reports.
Dalman, a fourth-round pick from the 2021 NFL draft, has developed into a quality starter on one of the league's better offensive lines. With a young quarterback in Michael Penix Jr., the Falcons would benefit from retaining the former Stanford standout, however, they've already invested a ton of money into their offensive line.
Chicago is signing free agency's top center Drew Dalman to a three-year, $42 million deal, per CBS NFL insider Jonathan Jones. Jones reported the 26-year-old took less money to play under Johnson and block for 2024 first overall pick Caleb Williams.
