TE Paulsen agrees to remain with Falcons

- By D. Orlando Ledbetter dledbetter@ajc.com

Tight end Logan Paulsen agreed to terms with the Falcons on Saturday, the team announced.

Paulsen will go along with blocking tight end Luke Stocker, who also signed in free agency this week.

Paulsen played in 15 games for the Falcons last season, including one start. He caught all nine of his targets for 91 yards and one touchdown.

Paulsen didn’t distinguis­h himself as a blocking tight end, and he was part of the Falcons’ running game that ranked 31st in the NFL in runs of no gain or losses. Paulsen, 32, has played in 120 NFL games and has made 65 starts.

Bethel to Ravens: Former Falcons cornerback Justin Bethel, a three-time Pro Bowler as a special teams player, signed a two-year with the Ravens.

Bethel led the Falcons in special teams tackles with 12 last season.

Bethel, who was a sixthround pick by the Cardinals in 2012 out of Presbyteri­an, made it to the Pro Bowl from 2013-15. Bethel, 28, is listed at 6 feet and 200 pounds. He’s played in 110 games with 14 starts. He did not play a snap from scrimmage last season.

Hall to Bears: Former Falcons wide receiver Marvin Hall, who served as the team’s primary kick returner last season, signed with the Chicago Bears on Friday.

The Falcons had a “wait and see” approach to Hall, who did not receive an exclusive-rights free-agent tender.

Hall, who played for former offensive coordinato­r Steve Sarkisian at the University of Washington, played in 24 games the past two seasons for the Falcons.

The 5-10, 190-pounder had 26 returns for 616 yards last season. He caught 12 of 28 targets for 209 yards and two touchdowns over two seasons.
