The Atlanta Falcons are signing defensive end Adrian Clayborn to a one-year deal worth up to $4 million, multiple outlets reported Tuesday. Clayborn, who played for the Falcons from 2015-17, appeared in 14 games for the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots last season and tallied 2.5 sacks.

Clayborn, 30, has registered 32.5 career sacks and 90 quarterback hits in 95 games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Falcons and Patriots. On Nov. 12, 2017, the former first-round pick (20th overall in 2011) set a Falcons record with six sacks in a 27-7 victory against the Dallas Cowboys.
