**Atlanta, GA** – The Atlanta Falcons have signed veteran linebacker Divine Deablo to a new contract, the team announced today. Deablo, a former third-round pick of the Las Vegas Raiders, spent his first four seasons in the NFL with the Raiders before agreeing to terms with Atlanta.
Deablo, a consistent performer throughout his career, had his best season in 2023, starting in 15 games and recording 106 tackles, four tackles-for-loss, two quarterback hits, and one sack. While his 2024 season saw slightly fewer tackles (63), he remained a key contributor to the Raiders’ defense. Despite his strong performances, the Raiders missed the playoffs and parted ways with head coach Antonio Pierce.
Over his four-year career in Las Vegas, Deablo totaled 288 tackles, 10 tackles-for-loss, six quarterback hits and two sacks in 54 games. He progressed from a rotational player as a rookie in 2021 to a full-time starter in subsequent seasons, showcasing his reliability and growth within the league. The signing represents a significant addition for the Falcons as they look to bolster their linebacker corps. The terms of the contract were not disclosed.
