DJ Chark to Atlanta.
DJ Chark visited the Chicago Bears on Thursday, but they didn't sign him.
The Atlanta Falcons didn't let Chark get away.
Chark went to Atlanta on Friday, and he got a contract there. He's got his new football home.
It's a fun addition for the Falcons, a chance for Chark to revitalize a career that once saw him make a Pro Bowl in Jacksonville.
Chark was a multi-year standout for the Jags. He made the Pro Bowl when he broke out in 2019 with 73 catches for 1,008 yards and eight TDs. The following season, he had another 706 yards and five scores.

The 6-foot-3 Chark left Jacksonville after four seasons for the Lions, where he totaled 502 yards in a lone campaign. It was on to Carolina for 2023, which featured 525 more yards.
Chark joined the Chargers for 2024 but had only four catches in an injury-plagued season.
He's a good veteran presence to help add depth in a receiver corps expected to join forces with Michael Penix Jr. in the young QB's second season.
