Third-round picks Chevis Jackson and Thomas DeCoud reached terms on four-year contracts with the Falcons on Tuesday. DeCoud said earlier in the day he expected to sign his deal as soon as Wednesday.
Jackson, a cornerback, and DeCoud, a safety, could play integral roles this season. Both have taken repetitions with the top two units of the secondary in recent offseason workouts, with Jackson working at both cornerback spots and DeCoud at free safety.
