Ex-Falcons CB Rashad Fenton signs with the Cardinals

After suffering a barrage of injuries at the cornerback position last season, the Atlanta Falcons made a trade for Chiefs CB Rashad Fenton at the 2022 NFL trade deadline.

Atlanta sent a conditional seventh-round pick to Kansas City in exchange for Fenton, who didn’t exactly thrive in his new home following the trade. The former sixth-round pick appeared in just two games for the Falcons last season, making one start.

Fenton, 26, has officially found a new team, signing a one-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday.

Atlanta has addressed its secondary in free agency by signing safety Jessie Bates III and cornerback Mike Hughes. Plus, it’s looking more and more like the team could select a defensive back in the 2023 NFL draft next month.

Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez, Illinois DB Devon Witherspoon, Penn State’s Joey Porter Jr. and Georgia’s Kelee Ringo are all potential targets for the Falcons at cornerback.
