Free agent wide receiver DJ Chark will reportedly sign with Atlanta after visiting the Falcons on Friday, according to multiple reports.

The move comes a week after Chark visited with the Chicago Bears.

Chark spent the past three seasons with three different teams after playing his first four campaigns in Jacksonville.

He was a second-round pick by the Jaguars in 2018 and made the Pro Bowl with a 1,008-yard season in 2019.

Chark caught just four passes for 31 yards and one touchdown in seven games with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024.

As NFL teams reported for training camp last week, Chark said he was still weighing his options.

"It depends," he said, per NFL Network. "It will have to be something that makes sense, from a family perspective and also from an X's and O's perspective. Getting up and going to any team just for the excitement -- I'll always love the game, but at this point, putting myself and my family in a great position is what's ideal for me."

Chark has 216 catches for 3,100 yards and 24 TDs in 76 games (51 starts) for the Jaguars (2018-21), Detroit Lions (2022), Carolina Panthers (2023) and Chargers.
