ATLANTA (AP) -- The Atlanta Falcons have signed free-agent
cornerback Dunta Robinson, the Houston Texans' career interceptions
leader, to a six-year, $57 million contract.
The team confirmed the deal on Saturday. It was reported Friday
that the Falcons and Robinson had agreed to terms.
Robinson's signing is important because the Falcons finished
28th in the league against the pass last season. The native of
Athens, Ga., had 13 interceptions in the last six seasons with
Houston. He will be introduced at a press conference on Monday.
The Texans made Robinson the 10th overall pick in the 2004 NFL
draft. He had a career-high six interceptions as a rookie, and has
started in 79 of 84 career games.
