Second-round draft pick cornerback Isaiah Oliver, fourth-round pick running back Ito Smith and sixth-round picks wide receiver Russell Gage and linebacker Foyesade Oluokun signed with the team.
First-round pick wide receiver Calvin Ridley’s four-year deal will be worth $10.9 million with a signing bonus just over $6 million. Ridley was selected with the 26th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft on Thursday. The Falcons will also have the right to pick up the fifth-year option on Ridley’s deal.
