The Falcons released Chark on Monday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Chark signed with the Falcons at the start of training camp, but he's shown very little across 30 offensive snaps this preseason, securing just one of three targets for 11 yards. Chark turns 29 years old next month, and his career appears to be running on fumes after producing a 4-31-1 receiving line across seven regular-season games for the Chargers in 2024 before spending much of the offseason as a free agent.

Chark caught one of three passes for 11 yards during Friday's 23-20 preseason loss to the Titans. After not catching a pass across 10 offensive snaps in Atlanta's preseason opener, Chark delivered another quiet performance in Week 2. Not only is the veteran not part of the expected roster lock group who've spent the first two exhibitions in street clothes, but he's also been outperformed by practice-squad guys like Chris Blair and Dylan Drummond. Despite plenty of experience and an injury to Darnell Mooney (shoulder), Chark is currently on the outskirts of the Falcons' initial 53-man roster, per Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site.

The Falcons agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Chark on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Chark had a tryout with the Bears on Monday and then met with the Falcons to cap the week before finding his next home. In his only season with the Chargers in 2024, he was beset by injuries and made just eight appearances, including a wild-card loss at Houston, en route to five catches (on 14 targets) for 41 yards and one touchdown. The 28-year-old likely will be vying with Casey Washington, Jamal Agnew and Chris Blair, among others, for one of Atlanta's final WR spots as training camp and the preseason proceed.

Chark recently visited the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports Monday. Chark remains an unrestricted free agent as teams begin training camp. The 28-year-old wide receiver had just 31 receiving yards in seven regular-season appearances for the Chargers in 2024 after working his way back from hip and groin injuries. Chark has exceeded 500 receiving yards in four of his seven NFL seasons. He'll likely compete for a depth role if signed by the Bears or any other team.

Chark appeared in seven regular-season games for the Chargers in 2024, making four catches (on 10 targets) for 31 yards and a touchdown. Chark signed a one-year deal in the spring and likely was pegged to take over the deep-threat role in the Chargers offense left behind by the departure of Mike Williams. However, a hip injury and then a groin injury to follow delayed the LSU product's team debut. The missed time left Chark unable to catch up, as he also missed a game as a healthy scratch. Set to be an unrestricted free agent this spring, the 28-year-old could be a candidate for a second opportunity, or he may have to look elsewhere to be on an NFL sideline in 2025.
