DONE DEAL: Falcons Have Officially Confirmed The Signing Of Raiders Top Prolific Veteran Offensive Tackle

The Atlanta Falcons signed offensive tackle Brandon Parker, the team announced on Tuesday.

The 2018 third-round draft pick had spent his entire active career with the Las Vegas Raiders. Parker was drafted by the Raiders while they were still in Oakland, California, and he stayed with the organization after it moved to Las Vegas.

Parker has 33 starts and 59 game appearances on his record, with two fumble recoveries. He appeared in at least 11 games per season from 2018 to 2021, with a high of 882 (77%) offensive snaps in 2021 and a low of 193 (28%) in 2019. Parker did not play in 2022, instead spending the season on injured reserve, but he returned to action in 2023, appearing in five games and taking 14 offensive plays (4%). He took advantage of three practice squad promotions and was eventually signed to the active roster.
Parker became a free agent at the end of the 2023 season. He signed with the San Francisco 49ers in the 2024 preseason. He stayed there during training camp but did not make the final 53-man roster.

There is no comparable move because the Falcons had 52 active players at the time of the deal. Parker brings them to their 53-player limit without having to release anyone.
