The Atlanta Falcons have signed cornerback Avieon Terrell to a four-year rookie contract that is fully guaranteed. Taken 48th overall in the draft, Terrell becomes the lowest pick to receive such terms. The move is expected to influence contract talks for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard, selected one spot earlier.
The Falcons announced the signing on Thursday. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed the deal is 100 percent guaranteed, negotiated by agent David Mulugheta of Athletes First. This sets a new benchmark for second-round selections in the 2026 draft class.
