A low-risk reserve/future signing with minimal immediate impact on Atlanta's roster. Multiple outlets covered this as part of a batch of 8 future contracts, signaling low individual significance. Simon is an undrafted-caliber camp body competing for a practice squad spot at best. Fans largely shrug — tight end depth signings rarely generate excitement unless a name is recognizable. Simon faces long odds to make the 53-man roster but could contribute in training camp competition.

This signing grades out as an overpay for the Atlanta Falcons — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Joshua's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL TEs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $885K average annual value ranks as bargain money for the TE market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Joshua is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
