Falcons agree to deals with Treadwell, McCray

ATLANTA (AP) » A person familiar with the deals says the Atlanta Falcons have reached agreements with wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, a former first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings, and guard Justin McCray.

The person told the Associated Press about the agreements on Monday on condition of anonymity because the deals will not be official until Treadwell and McCray pass physicals.

It is not known when the physicals can be scheduled. The league isn’t allowing players to report to new teams immediately for those physicals during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Falcons also have resigned cornerback Blidi WrehWilson to a one-year deal.

The 24-year-old Treadwell is expected to compete for a spot behind Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley on Atlanta’s depth chart.

The Arizona Cardinals have agreed to terms on one-year contracts for safety Chris Banjo and defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard.

The Cardinals announced they were re-signing both players on Monday. The 30-year-old Banjo played in 13 games last season for Arizona and was a valuable contributor on special teams. The seven-year veteran also provides depth in the secondary.

The 26-year-old Bullard played in nine games last season and started six. He had 22 tackles, including 1 ½ sacks. He played his first three seasons with the Chicago Bears and was a third-round selection in the 2016 draft.

Keeping Banjo and Bullard are the latest moves for the Cardinals, who are trying to improve a defense that gave up the most total yards in the NFL last season.
