Last week it was reported that there was mutual interest between free agent defensive lineman Richard Seymour and the Atlanta Falcons. However, there is “nothing at this point” between Atlanta and the veteran, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.

Many reporters – including Rapoport – expected talks between Seymour and the Falcons to ramp up over the weekend after it became evident that there was mutual interest in a signing. Still, nothing new has been reported since.

June 1 was an important date because it’s when the Falcons became free of Tyson Clabo’s salary, meaning they had more space to reach an agreement with Seymour. That time has come and passed, and there’s still nothing new in negotiations.

While there’s nothing new at this point, there are many signs that point toward a potential signing. Seymour lives in Georgia and his nephew – who’s become his adopted son – will attend the University of Georgia this fall. The Falcons also offer the veteran another opportunity at winning a Super Bowl title after his time with the Oakland Raiders.
