Security of former Chiefs Ron Parker signs with Falcons

It has not been a good off season for security, but things are moving towards Ron Parker.

The rearguard signed a one-year contract with the Falcons on Monday, said a source to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Falcons then confirmed the signature.

Parker, 30, has spent the past five seasons with the Chiefs. He started 64 games in Kansas City and was heavily relied on last season when Eric Berry tore his Achilles tendon in Week 1.

Atlanta has a pair of safety nets at Ricardo Allen and Keanu Neal, but Parker gives the club a veteran dose to fight alongside Damontae Kazee, Kemal Ishmael and a handful of young challengers.

Parker's signature comes a few days after the security of the free agent Tre Boston was complaining about the market for his favorite post.

"It's a bit hard, dude, they brought us where they think they want us," Boston told SiriusXM NFL Radio. "For us, we must communicate with each other so that we do not take this minimum wage."

Let's hope Parker did his part.
