Report: Falcons reach deal for DE Samson Ebukam
Indianapolis Colts defensive end Samson Ebukam (52) celebrates after recovering a fumble Sunday, Dec. 28, 2025, during a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The Atlanta Falcons signed former Indianapolis Colts defensive end Samson Ebukam on Thursday, his agent told ESPN.
Terms of the contract (both length and salary) were not reported. He was previously on a three-year, $27 million deal with Indianapolis.
Ebukam, 30, missed the entirety of the 2024 season with a torn Achilles and wasn't as productive last season in his second season in Indianapolis. His two sacks were tied for a career low set during his rookie season in 2017.
However, his first season with the Colts was the best of his career as he amassed a career-high 9.5 sacks in 2023. He had 4.5-plus sacks in each of the last five seasons he played before 2025.
Over eight seasons, Ebukam has played in 127 regular-season games (79 starts) with 314 tackles, 35 sacks, 77 quarterback hits, 43 tackles for loss, 11 forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries, nine pass breakups and one interception.
He was a fourth-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 2017 out of Eastern Washington.
