Frank

Ginda

The report comes from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Ginda has signed with multiple NFL teams dating back to 2018, most recently signing with the Falcons in 2023, but ultimately played for the UFL’s Michigan Panthers in each of the last three seasons. He won the USFL conference’s 2023 Defensive Player of the Year award after leading the conference in tackles (66).

The former USFL defensive most valuable player joins the Falcons on an undisclosed contract. Defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen’s linebacker unit is relatively deep after the offseason additions, headlined by Bud Dupree, meaning Ginda is likely competing for a situational role with this signing.
