Falcons Agree To Terms With CB Kelvin Hayden

The Atlanta Falcons have agreed to terms with free agent cornerback Kelvin Hayden, Jason La Canfora of the NFL Network reports.

Those terms were not disclosed and the Falcons will be required to make a corresponding transaction to add Hayden, as well as safety James Sanders, who agreed to a one-year deal on Tuesday night.

A second-round pick out of Illinois by the Indianapolis Colts in 2005, Hayden has started 46 of his 77 career games, totaling 298 tackles and nine interceptions. Hayden has not played a full 16-game season since 2007, missing 18 regular season games over the last three seasons.

Due $6.105 million in base salary this upcoming season, the Colts released Hayden in late July.

Hayden adds veteran depth behind starting cornerbacks Dunta Robinson and Brent Grimes.
