The Atlanta Falcons announced on Tuesday that they signed free-agent tight end Nikola Kalinic to a Reserve/Future contract. The 28-year-old appeared in two games with the Los Angeles Rams in 2024 and previously played in the Canadian Football League from 2019-22 before joining the Indianapolis Colts. Since the end of the season in addition to Kalinic, Atlanta has signed quarterback Emory Jones, wide receivers Phillips Dorsett, Jesse Matthews, Dylan Drummond, Makai Polk and David Sills, running back Elijah Dotson, offensive linemen Joey Fisher, Jovaughn Gwyn, Tyron Wheatley Jr. and Matthew Cindric, defensive linemen Junior Aho, Khalid Kareem and LaCale London, and defensive backs Lamar Jackson and Benny Sapp III to Reserve/Futures deals.
The Los Angeles Rams signed free-agent tight end Nikola Kalinic to an undisclosed deal over the weekend. Kalinic spent the 2022 campaign with the Indianapolis Colts, where he played some special teams in parts of seven games (two starts). He returned one kickoff for 15 yards and mostly bounced from the active roster to the practice squad. The 26-year-old has yet to record a catch in the NFL. With the Rams in 2023, Kalinic will look to make the roster out of training camp as depth at the position. Los Angeles already has Tyler Higbee, Hunter Long, rookies Davis Allen and Christian Sims and Bryce Hopkins at the position.
