Falcons sign former CFL WR Brayden Lenius

The Falcons are going to need to do a lot of work on their wide receiver room in 2021, to put it mildly. With Calvin Ridley’s status uncertain and Russell Gage, Tajae Sharpe, Olamide Zaccheaus and Christian Blake all headed to free agency, the only receiver under contract and on the roster today is Frank Darby, who was largely inactive or playing special teams in his rookie season. I can’t say for sure whether Brayden Lenius will prove to be a big signing for this team, but they’re wasting no time adding to the group this offseason.

The Falcons have reportedly, per 3 Down Nation, signed the 25-year-old former Saskatchewan Roughrider to what I would assume is a futures contract, which means he’ll count against the salary cap and 90 man roster once the new league year starts.
