The Falcons signed Simon to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simon stuck with the Falcons' practice squad throughout the 2025 season after ultimately failing to make the 53-man roster. The tight end was not elevated to the active roster at all this season. The future contract will allow Simon to compete for a spot on the 2026 roster once the preseason commences.

The Falcons signed Simon to the practice squad Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simon entered training camp as a longshot to make the 53-man roster, but he impressed the coaching staff enough to stick around on the practice squad. The undrafted rookie out of South Carolina will provide the Falcons depth at tight end and could be elevated to the active roster if Kyle Pitts, Charlie Woerner, Teagan Quitoriano or Feleipe Franks were to miss time.

The Falcons waived Simon on Tuesday, Terrin Waack, Will McFadden and Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Simon signed with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent in late April and finished with two catches (on three targets) for nine yards across three preseason games. He was a long shot to make the Falcons' 53-man roster, but he could remain in Atlanta as a member of the team's practice squad if he clears waivers.
