Mike Peterson signs for Falcons

Former Jaguars Linebacker Mike Peterson has signed for the Atlanta Falcons, he will be reunited with his old defensive coach from Jacksonville.

Peterson got a two year deal and financial terms weren't disclosed.

Atlanta was looking for a veteran linebacker after they lost Pro Bowl Keith Brooking to the Dallas Cowboys and Michael Boley in free agency, who started most of last season at strong side line backer, to the New York Giants. The only full-time starter still on the Falcons' roster is middle linebacker Curtis Lofton in his 2ND season this season.

Peterson's days in Jacksonville were numbered after he ran afoul of Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio last year. Peterson was sent home twice for insubordination and fined $10,000 and benched for a game during Jacksonville's disappointing 5-11 season.
