Free agent LB Dan Connor worked out for the Falcons. It's the first we've heard of Connor since the end of last season. A six-year veteran, Connor appeared in six games between the Panthers and Giants in 2013. He'd be a camp body with a shot at cracking the 53-man roster in Atlanta.

Panthers signed LB Dan Connor. Connor, 28, was released by the Giants with an injury settlement last week. He'll provide middle linebacker depth behind Luke Kuechly and Chase Blackburn. Connor was a third-round pick by the Panthers in 2008 and returns after spending the first four years of his career in Carolina.

Giants signed LB Dan Connor, formerly of the Cowboys, to a one-year contract. Connor was a marked man in free agency, drawing visits with the Steelers, Raiders, and Giants.

Connor should be able to hold him off.

Free agent LB Dan Connor will visit the Giants. New York has hosted a bevy of linebackers over the last three days, including Rey Maualuga, Jasper Brinkley, and Justin Durant. Brinkley signed in Arizona, but the Giants remain interested in the others as potential middle and strong-side linebackers.
