Falcons in talks to re-sign Grady Jackson
Posted: Fri Jul 25, 2008 8:39 pm
Falcons officials met with former defensive tackle Grady Jackson for roughly an hour Friday morning and are working on the terms of deal to bring him back to the team, according to Jackson.
After the meeting, the Falcons wanted Jackson to stay around the building to take a physical.
Earlier, Falcons officials would not confirm that Jackson had a meeting scheduled with head coach Mike Smith and general manager Thomas Dimitroff.
Jackson would help one of the team's apparent weaknesses, the defensive front. For mini-camp and offseason workouts, Jonathan Babineaux and Montavious Stanley lined up at the top defensive tackle spots.
Jackson played for the Falcons in 2006 and 2007, before being released after the team got off to a 1-6 start last season.
Jackson signed with Jacksonville, where Smith was the defensive coordinator.
