Falcons sign former third-round pick, add offensive line depth
The Atlanta Falcons have made another addition to their offensive line, signing Brandon Parker on Thursday afternoon. While the contract terms are unknown, it's likely a one-year deal for the veteran minimum. Parker, 29, was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the third round of the 2018 NFL draft.
As a rookie, Parker started 12 games at right tackle before moving to a reserve role from 2019-2020. Then in 2021, he started 13 games for the Raiders. The veteran offensive lineman has appeared in 59 games with 33 starts over the last seven seasons. The Falcons signed Parker in 2024, but he didn't appear in a single game for Atlanta.
Parker is one of four offensive linemen to sign a contract with the Falcons over the last 24 hours. The team also re-signed Elijah Wilkinson, Kyle Hinton and Storm Norton, each of whom will likely serve backup roles in 2025. Atlanta lost starting center Drew Dalman to the Chicago Bears just hours after the start of the legal tampering period.
While the team hasn't officially signed a new center, Atlanta placed a right of refusal tender on backup Ryan Neuzil. We expect Neuzil to take over as the starting center next season, unless the team signs a more proven veteran in free agency.
