Charles signed a contract with the Falcons on Saturday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Charles spent time with the Chiefs this offseason, but hasn't seen any regular-season action since playing for the Lions in 2016. If the 31-year-old can stick to the Falcons' roster, he would likely see a depth or rotational role in their defensive front.

Charles signed with the Chiefs on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
With Rakeem Nunez-Roches' release becoming official Thursday in what was a move to create cap space, the Chiefs have elected to bring back Charles after releasing him just two days earlier. Charles has been a depth option on the defensive line throughout most of his NFL career, but he hasn't seen a snap since 2016 with Detroit, so his chances of ultimately making the Chiefs' final roster appear slim.

Charles was released by the Chiefs on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Charles hasn't touched the field since 2016 when he played 12 games for the Lions and marked seven tackles (two solo). The 29-year-old spent 2017 preseason with Jacksonville, but he was let go before Week 1 and remained unemployed for the rest of the campaign. Charles has always played in a reserve role, and that's what he'll compete for wherever he lands.

Charles re-signed with the Chiefs on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Charles was brought in for the Chiefs' postseason run, adding depth to the defensive line. Bennie Logan, the Chiefs' starting nose tackle last season, remains a free agent, which could leave more reps on the table for Charles. However, the Chiefs also signed Xavier Williams on Tuesday, who will also compete for starting time.

The Chiefs signed Charles to a contract Wednesday, Terez A. Paylor of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Charles will provide the Chiefs with some depth along the defensive front with 3-4 ends Rakeem Nunez-Roches (ankle) and Jarvis Jenkins (knee) both nursing injuries heading into Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Titans. Even if the latter two players are inactive for the playoff game, Charles likely wouldn't be asked to play more than a handful of snaps as part of the Chiefs' line rotation.

Charles saw limited action in last week's preseason opener, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Charles didn't do much in his preseason action, with his most notable play being a missed tackle. He'll look to improve in the coming weeks as he prepares for another year as a backup along the defensive line.

Charles is expected to ink a contract with the Jaguars, Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Charles figures to provide depth along the defensive line for the Jaguars, but has never contributed enough to be worthy of IDP fantasy consideration.
