Atlanta Falcons could re-sign familiar face, currently "talking" per ESPN

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that free agent outside linebacker Bud Dupree has concluded a visit with the Los Angeles Chargers. Schefter also reported that Dupree has been "talking" with the Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers, both of which he's played with before.

In 16 games last season, Dupree recorded 39 total tackles (17 solo), eight tackles for loss (2nd-most on the team) and 6.5 sacks (tied for 1st on the team) for the Atlanta Falcons. He also added three pass deflections, two forced fumbles and eight quarterback hits.

Dupree spent six years in Pittsburgh and had his most productive year in 2019, when he recorded a career-high in tackles (68), solo tackles (49), tackles for loss (16), quarterback hits (17), forced fumbles (4) and sacks (11.5).

In his age 31 season, the Falcons could use his production and edge-setting ability in their outside linebacker rotation.
