The Falcons are showing interest in safety Jordan Whitehead and cornerback C.J. Henderson as potential free agents. Henderson recently worked out with the Falcons, marking his first known visit this offseason. Originally a top-10 pick, Henderson struggled with the Jaguars and was later traded to the Panthers, where he started in 22 out of 39 games but faced challenges in coverage. After brief stints with the Texans and Steelers, he remains unsigned amidst limited cap space for the Falcons at around $4.9MM.
Cornerback C.J. Henderson worked out for the Falcons today, marking the first known visit this offseason for the former top-10 pick.
Expectations were high for Henderson upon arrival with the Jaguars in 2020, but he struggled in a starting role and was traded to the Panthers.
Over 39 games with Carolina, Henderson started 22 games but inconsistently struggled in coverage, leading to his release from the Texans after training camp.
The Falcons currently sit near the bottom of the NFL in terms of cap space, with roughly $4.9MM available for a potential signing.
