Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports that free agent LB Nick Barnett is still on the Falcons’ radar and could be signed to a contract depending on how their linebackers play in training camp.
The Falcons actually brought in Barnett for a workout back in June after they unfortunately lost LB Sean Weatherspoon for the season due to a ruptured Achilles’ tendon.
Atlanta recently signed Pat Angerer to a contract, but he is working his way back from a knee injury that required microfracture surgery and left practice on Tuesday with headaches.
Barnett, 33, signed on with the Redskins last year and appeared in 14 games before he suffered a MCL tear in December and was subsequently placed on injured reserve.
