Falcons Sign QB Matt Simms, Cut WR Garrett Scantling

The Atlanta Falcons announced Monday that they’ve signed QB Matt Simms and waived WR Garrett Scantling.

Simms, 28, originally signed on with the Jets as an undrafted out of Tennessee back in 2012. He spent just over three years with the Jets before he was waived and later claimed off of waivers by the Bills.

However, Simms was unfortunately among their final roster cuts at the start of the 2015 season. Simms later signed on to the Falcons’ practice squad and returned to Atlanta on a futures deal before he was waived last September.
