The Atlanta Falcons have landed two big fish on the unofficial first day of free agency. After signing former Saints defensive lineman David Onyemata a three-year, $35 million contract, the team has reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year, $64 million deal with safety Jessie Bates III.
Bates III is a player that Falcons fans have been lobbying for since the start of the offseason. Once the news broke Monday afternoon, many fans took to Twitter to celebrate.
