Undrafted free-agent OT Jack Batho IV (South Dakota School of Mines), DT Zac Dawe (Brigham Young), LB Dorian Etheridge (Louisville), OG Bryce Hargrove (Pittsburgh), RB Caleb Huntley (Ball State), LB Eli Howard (Texas Tech), S Dwayne Johnson (San Diego State), LB Kobe Jones (Mississippi State), CB Marcus Murphy (Mississippi State), OG Ryan Neuzil (Appalachian State), WR Antonio Nunn (Buffalo), S JR Pace (Northwestern), LB Alani Pututau (Adams State), TE John Raine (Northwestern), OG Joe Sculthorpe (North Carolina State), OT Keion Smith (Fayetteville State), LB Erroll Thompson (Mississippi State) and WR Austin Trammell (Rice) agreed to terms with the Atlanta Falcons Monday, May 3. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Footballguys View: Huntley is an interesting running back to monitor. He’s a strong runner with a low center of gravity and plenty of leg drive. Huntley wasn’t proven as a receiver out of the backfield but he gives great effort anytime he touches the ball. The Falcons need running back help and Huntley could work his way onto the 53-man roster but as a priority free agent he’s more likely to land on the practice squad.

Atlanta Falcons WR Calvin Ridley had his fifth-year option was exercised Monday, May 3. He is scheduled to make $11.116 million in 2022.

Footballguys View: Ridley had his breakout season in 2020 and finished as the no.4 fantasy receiver in standard scoring leagues. The Falcons will continue to use him as a featured part of their passing game. Fantasy GMs can lean on him as a WR1 and Ridley has a current ADP of WR6 (2.08) in 12-team PPR leagues.

Indianapolis Colts restricted free-agent TE Mo Alie-Cox signed his one-year tender offer Monday, May 3. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys View: Alie-Cox stays with the Colts as a restricted free agent and we’ll see if his role grows this upcoming season. His 38 targets in 2020 were the most of his career and he could get a similar amount of passes thrown his way this season. With Jack Doyle ahead of him on the depth chart it seems like Alie-Cox is going to be in a TEBC once again.
