Falcons defensive tackle Ra’Shede Hageman received a one-year, $735,000 contract that included a $15,000 signing bonus.

Hageman, who must serve a two-game suspension if he makes the team, signed the contract on Friday.

The Falcons elected to give their former second-round pick a second chance after he'd been out of the league in the wake of a domestic violence situation.
