Charles Godfrey, Falcons Agree to New Contract: Latest Details and Reaction

The Atlanta Falcons clearly liked what they saw out of safety Charles Godfrey after signing him during the 2014 season, deciding to bring him back for another year.  

The team's official Twitter account announced the news Thursday:

Albert Breer of NFL.com has more on the contract:

Godfrey played in five games for the Falcons, and before joining the team, he accumulated 19 tackles in seven games with the Carolina Panthers. In all, he's registered 364 tackles, 11 interceptions and 33 passes defended in his seven-year career.  

While Godfrey likely won't be a starter for the team, he gives them depth in the secondary and a player who can fill in on special teams or in nickel and dime packages on passing downs. He's also another veteran presence for a team that will have a new coach and system as it looks to rebuild on the fly, and he should be able to adapt quickly.
