Falcons add veteran edge rusher Za’Darius Smith on one-year deal

Atlanta adds veteran edge rusher Za’Darius Smith on a one-year contract to bolster a thin pass rush after injuries to Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr. The 34-year-old three-time Pro Bowler, who has 70.5 career sacks and has played for several teams, had briefly retired before signing with Atlanta. He should immediate contribute to a rotation with Ojulari, Ebukam, Thomas and Trice and could see another addition before Week 1 as he ramps up.

Patriots Enter Summer Break Optimistic After Minicamp

After minicamp, the Patriots head into summer break optimistic: Drake Maye appears in command of the offense and is building chemistry with a bigger, more versatile receiving group; backup QB roles look set between DeVito and Morton. The WR corps features size and playmaking with Brown, Doubs, and Douglas, while Julian Hill’s injury creates a TE need. TrevYon Henderson showed speed as the RB3. The line depth improves and the defense aims to tighten red-zone play, but edge-rusher depth remains a concern with Landry and Jacas rehabbing; Dre'Mont Jones and Elijah Ponder provide optimism. Corner and safety depth is competitive as training camp approaches on July 24-25.
