Another former member of the Las Vegas Raiders is heading to the NFC South.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Mack Hollins and the Atlanta Falcons have agreed on a one-year contract. NFL Networks’ Mike Garafolo reports the deal is worth $2.5 million.
Hollins blew up for the Raiders last season, catching 57 passes for 690 yards and four touchdowns, all career highs. Those numbers also helped him rank second on the team in receiving yards and touchdowns.

A fan favorite, his time in Las Vegas was short-lived. Hollins was signed in the 2022 off-season to a 1-year deal. A fourth-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017, the receiver also played three seasons for the Miami Dolphins before landing in Las Vegas.
Hollins will see his former quarterback Derek Carr twice next season after Carr signed with the New Orleans Saints.
