Falcons Sign DE Malliciah Goodman, Cut DL Cliff Matthews & C Trevor Robinson

The Atlanta Falcons announced Tuesday that theyโ€™ve signed DL Malliciah Goodman and promoted OL Kevin Graf to the active roster.

  • The Falcons also waived DL Cliff Matthews and C Trevor Robinson.

Goodman, 26, is a former fourth-round pick of the Falcons back in 2013. He spent three years in Atlanta before he was waived coming out of the preseason.

The Seahawks later signed him to a contract in October but he lasted just a week in Seattle before he was cut loose.

In 2016, Goodman has appeared in one game for the Seahawks but has yet to record a statistic.

Matthews, 27, is a former seventh-round pick of the Falcons back in 2011. He had finished out his rookie contract last year when he signed a two-year extension with the Falcons.

However, Matthews was unfortunately among their final roster cuts coming out of the preseason. The Buccaneers elected to sign him to a future/reserve contract this past February, but he was later among the teamโ€™s final roster cuts coming out of the preseason.

The Falcons signed him to a contract back in October.

In 2016, Matthews has appeared in three games  but has yet to record a statistic.

Robinson,  26, originally signed on with the Bengals as an undrafted free agent out of back in 2012. The Chargers later signed him off of the Bengalsโ€™ practice squad in October of 2014 after they sustained a number of offensive line injuries.

San Diego elected to re-sign Robinson to a two-year, $1.7 million contract in March of last year. However, the Chargers cut him loose back in July and it wasnโ€™t until a few weeks ago that he signed on with the Falcons.

In 2015, Robinson appeared in all 16 games for the Chargers.
