Former New Orleans Saints linebacker Kaden Elliss has agreed to a deal with the Atlanta Falcons, according to sources. He's scheduled to make $21.5 million on a three-year deal. Elliss became attractive on the open market this year after recording a career-high 78 tackles (43 solo), seven sacks, seven tackles for loss, 10 QB hits and two forced fumbles in 17 games (11 starts) last year in his fourth season with New Orleans. It was a big jump in production for the 27-year-old after he posted 23 tackles and only one sack in his previous three NFL seasons. The Falcons made a big point to address their defensive needs on the first day of free agency on Monday.
