Re-signs with Atlanta
Alford re-signed with the Falcons on a one-year contract Monday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Falcons opted not to tender Alford as a restricted rights free agent in March, which made the 27-year-old cornerback an unrestricted free agent. After testing the market, Alford has decided to return to Atlanta, where he made 11 starts last season, posting 11 passes defensed and 83 tackles (61 solo) in 16 appearances.

A 2022 UDFA, Alford is working as the Falcons' top slot CB in 2024 with Mike Hughes moving outside. Alford also has punt-return experience but likely wouldn't be a primary return man if he's operating as a starter on defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pushing for starting role
Alford has worked ahead of Mike Hughes as the Falcons' primary nickel corner throughout OTAs, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Alford has impressed the coaching staff and appears to be running ahead of Hughes, who signed with the Falcons in free agency after being part of a porous Lions secondary in 2022. Atlanta's coaching staff has praised Alford's progress, and the former CFL player is poised for a bigger role after racking up 25 tackles, one interception and seven passes defensed as a reserve for the Falcons in his first NFL campaign last year.
