Foxworth, a Baltimore native and former University of Maryland star, agreed to a four-year deal worth a reported $28 million dollars, including $16.5 million guaranteed.
Acquired last September from the Denver Broncos, Foxworth appeared in 14 games for Atlanta, including 10 starts. Foxworth had one interception and 11 passes defended.
Atlanta had been attempting to re-sign Foxworth, but was unable to reach a deal before the start of free agency earlier today.
Addressing the cornerback position remains a priority for Atlanta, and Scout.com's Adam Caplan has reported that the Falcons have an interest in free agent Jabari Greer (Bills).
