After contemplating retirement, former Pro Bowl receiver DJ Chark is signing with the Atlanta Falcons, according to NFL Media . Chark, who will turn 29 in September, had recently acknowledged that retirement was an option this offseason, citing the challenges associated with possibly uprooting his family for a fifth consecutive year.

The Atlanta Falcons are expected to sign veteran wide receiver DJ Chark Jr., according to a report from Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. The former second-round pick spent last season with the Los Angeles Chargers, appearing in seven games and recording four catches for 31 receiving yards and one touchdown.

A former Detroit Lions wide receiver has found a new home. According to reports Friday, veteran D.J. Chark is signing with the Atlanta Falcons after visiting the team. This will be the fifth team Chark will suit up for in his career, which includes a one-year stop with Detroit during the 2022 season.
