The Atlanta Falcons are adding a former Pro Bowler to their secondary, agreeing to a contract with cornerback Casey Hayward Jr., a source told a ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
The news was first reported by NFL Network, which said Hayward agreed to a two-year, $11 million contract.
Hayward joins a young secondary with the Falcons and could end up replacing veteran Fabian Moreau, who the team signed to a one-year deal last season. He could be a good No. 2 corner to emerging star corner A.J. Terrell and a mentor to second-year corners Darren Hall and Avery Williams, both of whom ended up having to play more than expected due to injuries to various corners throughout last year.
