C.J. Henderson is poised to sign with the Atlanta Falcons after a tough start to his career. The former first-round pick struggled with the Jaguars and was traded after 10 games, later spending over two seasons with the Panthers where he faced challenges in coverage. Last year he signed with the Steelers but did not play due to being on injured reserve. Henderson worked out with the Steelers before drawing interest from multiple teams. He will now compete for a roster spot with the Falcons, who have limited cap space but have signed him affordably.
C.J. Henderson, the former first-round cornerback, is set to sign with the Atlanta Falcons pending a physical after a challenging career start.
Henderson's brief time with the Jaguars ended after 10 games, leading to a trade and two-plus seasons with the Panthers, during which he struggled in coverage.
Despite a Steelers deal last year that resulted in no playing time, Henderson drew interest from several teams and will now compete for a roster spot in Atlanta.
The Falcons, with limited cap space under $5MM, are adding Henderson at a low cost, allowing for potential flexibility in future roster moves.
