In the second deal of the day, the Falcons agreed to terms on a two-year deal with right guard Garrett Reynolds Saturday.

Reynolds opened the last two seasons as the starter at right guard. He was selected in the fifth-round (156th overall) of the 2009 NFL draft.

Reynolds started seven games in 2011, before losing his position and being replaced by Joe Hawley.

Last season, Reynolds won an open competition and earned the starting spot. He started six games and played in seven last season. He suffered a back injury that required surgery and was placed on injured reserve.
