The Facts: According to Adam Caplan of ESPN.com, Yates has agreed to return to the Falcons on a one-year deal worth $1.5 million.

Diehards Line: Yates served as the backup to Matt Ryan in Atlanta last season after being acquired in an offseason trade from the Houston Texans. Despite a change in coaching staffs, Yates will apparently remain in that role this season for the Falcons. Yates appeared in just one game for Atlanta last season, completing 3 of 4 passes for 64 yards with an interception. Last preseason, Yates completed 28 of 53 passes for 438 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Falcons.
