Signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract with the Falcons in March of 2026.
Signs with hometown team
Ojulari (hamstring) is slated to sign a one-year deal with the Falcons, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Ojulari is an Atlanta native, and the Falcons are looking to bring the veteran edge rusher home. The 25-year-old played in just three regular-season games for the Eagles last year, totaling 67 defensive snaps. The number of defensive snaps Ojulari gets to see in 2026 likely is tied to the result of James Pearce's standing battery charges and what other moves the Falcons make around the outside linebacker unit.

2021
Ojulari's 13 starts, 49 tackles and 8.0 sacks as a rookie back in 2021 still stand as career highs in all three categories, as he was limited by injuries for the third season in a row last year. After calf troubles in 2022 and hamstring and ankle issues in 2023, it was a toe injury which cut Ojulari's season short after 11 games in 2024. He was still productive when available, finishing with 6.0 sacks. He signed a one-year deal with the Eagles in March and will be part of the edge rush rotation as long as he can stay healthy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Candidate to be dealt
The Giants are considering offers for Ojulari prior to the trade deadline Tuesday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ojulari has seen his role increase with Kayvon Thibodeaux sidelined by a wrist injury, logging 5.0 sacks across his last four games. Multiple teams are reportedly interested, and he's a reasonable trade candidate given that he's set to hit free agency at the close of the season. Russini reports that the Giants are evaluating their offers but have a price in mind, so it's unclear if he'll be moved in the waning moments before the trade deadline.
