The Atlanta Falcons have addressed a pressing need by reaching a one-year, $10 million deal with edge rusher Leonard Floyd, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced.

The deal came shortly after Floyd was released by the San Francisco 49ers.
