Among the 27 undrafted players who have agreed to terms with Atlanta are fullbacks Luke McNitt of Nebraska and Daniel Marx of Stanford. Barring other roster moves, one of the two could open the season as the starter.
Fullback was a priority position in the Falcons' search for college free agents because 2017 starter Derrick Coleman was not re-signed.
The Falcons also agreed to terms with running backs Demario Richard of Arizona State, Emmanuel Smith of Vanderbilt and Malik Williams of Louisville and Virginia quarterback Kurt Benkert.
Two in-state players Mark Scheifele Jersey , Georgia kicker David Marvin and Georgia State defensive end Mackendy Cheridor, also agreed to terms.
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) The Washington Redskins have signed backup quarterback Colt McCoy to an extension that keeps him under contract through the 2019 season.
The team announced the deal Friday. NFL Network reported Thursday the contract could be worth up to $7 million.
McCoy is entering his fifth season with Washington Ryan O'Reilly Jersey , all under coach Jay Gruden, who called the 31-year-old a ”great player to have around.” Gruden says if anything happens to new quarterback Alex Smith, the team is in good hands with McCoy.
Drafted in the third round out of Texas by Cleveland in 2010 Patrick Maroon Jersey , McCoy started 21 games for the Browns and appeared in three more. He started four games for the Redskins in 2014.
McCoy has thrown for 5,586 yards, 26 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in 35 NFL games.
