FLOWERY BRANCH, Georgia - The Atlanta Falcons signed safety Rich Coady. They also re-signed Pro Bowl return specialist Allen Rossum and picked up kicker Todd Peterson.

The 29-year-old Coady has spent all but one of his six NFL seasons with St. Louis, starting 5 games for the Rams in 2004. He played in all 16 games and finished with 44 tackles.

Rossum, 29, is one of the NFL's most dangerous returners. In 2004, he averaged 21.6 yards on 58 kick returns and 12.4 yards on 37 punt returns.

Peterson, who connected on nearly 82 % of his field goal attempts with the San Francisco 49ers last season, is making a homecoming of sorts. The 11-year veteran played at Georgia and went to training camp with the Falcons in 1994, but failed to beat out the legendary Norm Johnson.

Peterson replaces Jay Feely, the Falcons' kicker the past 4 seasons. Feeley signed with the New York Giants.
