Report: Falcons reach deal for DE Samson Ebukam

By Thomson Reuters Mar 12, 2026 | 4:29 PM

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.
