REPORT: Atlanta Falcons Sign Morgan Fox to Two-Year Deal
March 15, 2025
In a significant move aimed at bolstering their defensive line, the Atlanta Falcons have officially signed defensive end Morgan Fox to a two-year contract, sources confirmed today. The deal, which is expected to provide a substantial boost to the Falcons’ pass rush, comes after the team sought to strengthen their defense ahead of the 2025 NFL season.
Fox, 29, enters his sixth NFL season with a reputation as a versatile and disruptive defensive force. Over the past few years, Fox has become known for his ability to get to the quarterback, recording 6.5 sacks in the 2024 season with the Los Angeles Chargers. His skill set fits well into the Falcons’ defensive scheme, which has struggled at times to generate consistent pressure in recent seasons.
“Adding a player like Morgan Fox gives us an immediate upgrade to our defensive line,” said Falcons head coach Arthur Smith. “His ability to rush the passer and disrupt plays makes him a great fit for our system, and we’re excited to see what he brings to the team.”
Fox, who has previously played for the Rams and Chargers, has shown significant growth as a pass rusher since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2016. His relentless motor and strong work ethic have earned him a reputation as a player who thrives in high-pressure situations.
“I’m thrilled to be joining the Falcons and to contribute to the team’s success,” Fox said in a statement. “This is an exciting opportunity, and I’m ready to get to work and help take this defense to the next level.”
With Fox now on board, the Falcons are poised to improve their defensive unit, which has been a key area of focus during the offseason. The two-year deal will allow Fox to make an immediate impact while providing the Falcons with flexibility for future roster decisions.
The 2025 NFL season is shaping up to be a pivotal one for Atlanta as they look to make a strong push for the playoffs.
