The Atlanta Falcons signed linebacker Orlando Huff to a deal on Saturday. The veteran appeared in 16 games last season, starting in 13 of them with the Arizona Cardinals. He totaled 69 tackles.

Huff, a fourth-round pick in 2001, will try to compete with Demarrio Williams and rookie Stephen Nicholas fo playing time as a weakside linebacker. The Falcons still need to fill in plenty of holes defensively, and at this point, Huf shouldn't make a significant impact other than filling a void if something goes wrong.
