The Atlanta Falcons have confirmed the signing of free-agent tight end Jacob Tamme.
The former fourth-round Draft pick spent the last three seasons with the Denver Broncos, and has 178 career receptions for 1,703 yards and 10 touchdowns in seven years in the NFL.
"Excited to join the Atlanta Falcons! Looking forward to meeting my teammates and starting the process of working to win a championship," he wrote on his official Twitter account.
Tamme enjoyed his best season in the league in 2010 with the Indianapolis Colts, where he caught a career-high 67 passes for 631 yards and four touchdowns.
Last year, the Falcons gained a league-low 241 yards from the tight end position and new offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan had stressed a need to improve in that area.
