The Atlanta Falcons agreed to terms with former Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Allen Bailey on Tuesday.

The deal is for two years and $10.5 million, according to ESPN and the NFL Network.

Bailey, 30, tallied a career-high six sacks in 16 games (13 starts) for the Chiefs last season.

He played in 102 games (61 starts) and registered 19 1/2 sacks, 34 tackles for loss and 33 quarterback hits in eight seasons with the Chiefs.

A Georgia native, Bailey was Kansas City’s third-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft out of Miami.

The signing came one day after defensive tackle Michael Bennett broke his ankle during the Falcons’ first practice of training camp.
