The Falcons signed Means, 28, early in the season after he was released by the Philadelphia Eagles. Means played in eight games for Atlanta during the 2018 season and made four starts. He finished the year with 14 tackles, three tackles for a loss and one sack.
Means was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-3, 263-pound defensive end was released by the Buccaneers early in his second NFL season and subsequently signed with the Baltimore Ravens. In 2016, Means signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he played for two seasons prior to arriving in Atlanta.
During his five-year career, Means has recorded 26 tackles, five tackles for a loss, three sacks and one forced fumble.
