[HMFFL]

The Falcons announced the signing of free agent center Brett Romberg Monday afternoon, adding another body to the offensive line prior to the start of offseason workouts.

Romberg (6-foot-2, 298 pounds) is a five-year veteran who has played for the Jaguars and Rams. He's played in 33 games (18 starts) with some of his most extensive action coming last season with St. Louis (14 games, six starts).

He started nine games in 2007.

Four times Romberg has played with offensive lines that blocked for 1,000-yard rushers (Fred Taylor in 2004 and Steven Jackson in 2006, 2007 and 2008). In Atlanta, he rejoins his old coach Paul Boudreau, who led the Rams offensive line before taking the same position in Atlanta prior to last season.

Romberg was a three-year starter at Miami before joining the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent. He was an All-American and All-Big East selection as a senior.
