The Atlanta Falcons spent over $200 million on player contracts Monday as the NFL’s legal tampering period kicked off with a bang. A big portion of that money is going to right guard Chris Lindstrom, who signed a five-year, $105 million extension.
The team later agreed to terms with free agent Jessie Bates III on a four-year, $64 million contract and added two former Saints players — defensive lineman David Onyemata and linebacker Kaden Elliss.
