The Atlanta Falcons have agreed to re-sign outside linebacker O'Brien Schofield.

Schofield took a physical at the team's facility Wednesday morning and met with the coaches.

"It's great to be back with the organization," Schofield said. "I'm ready to get back on the field and start competing."

Schofield, known as a vocal leader, is expected to fill the same strong-side linebacker role he played at the end of last season.
