Bailey agreed Wednesday with the Falcons on a one-year, $4.5 million extension that keeps him under contract through 2021, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The new contract reduces Bailey's cap hit for 2020, converting some of his base salary into a signing bonus. The 31-year-old lineman was solid but unspectacular in 2019, his first season with the Falcons, tallying 26 tackles and one sack while starting five of 15 games. Bailey had a career-high six sacks in 2018, the final season of his eight-year tenure in Kansas City.

Falcons' Allen Bailey: Just one sack for Falcons in 2019
Rotowire
Bailey collected 26 tackles, four tackles for loss and one sack across 15 appearances (including five starts) for the Falcons this season.
Watching his former team of eight years go to the Super Bowl without him is painful enough in its own right, but Allen also endured one of his least productive seasons from an individual perspective during 2019. The 30-year-old defensive end collected a career-high six sacks and 10 QB hits while starting 13 games for Kansas City last season, but this year he managed a measly two QB hits and collected his fewest number of tackles since 2012 (minimum six games played). He is under contract with Atlanta for one more season at a cap hit of $5.9 million, making him the 12th-highest compensated player on the Falcons and 28th-highest paid player at his position.

Falcons' Allen Bailey: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Bailey (personal) returned to practice Wednesday and will play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Bailey missed Week 15's win over the 49ers, but he's all systems go moving forward. The veteran defensive end isn't a starter but still averages 37.5 defensive snaps per game, and he could be in line for additional work since Takkarist McKinley (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Falcons' Allen Bailey: Will not play against 49ers
Rotowire
Bailey (personal) has been ruled out for Atlanta's Week 15 matchup against San Francisco, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
The specifics behind Bailey's absence have not been revealed, but the 30-year-old defensive end is expected to sit out his first regular-season game since 2017 when the Falcons face the 49ers on Sunday. Thus far in his debut campaign for Atlanta, Bailey has logged 24 tackles, four tackles for loss and one sack across 13 appearances (including five starts). He will be missed as the Falcons' defense takes on a 49ers front that has allowed the seventh-fewest QB hits in the NFL this season.

Allen Bailey: Takes trip to Seattle
Rotowire
Bailey visited with the Seahawks on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Bailey has already visited with the Patriots and the Panthers, so he's clearly a hot commodity. The 30-year-old spent the last eight seasons with Kansas City, and he posted 38 tackles and six sacks in 2018. If Bailey were to sign with the Seahawks, it would give Seattle more flexibility if it opted to trade Frank Clark.

Chiefs' Allen Bailey: Practices in limited fashion
Rotowire
Bailey (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Being able to practice in some capacity bodes well for Bailey's chances of playing Sunday against the Bills. However, with just 29 tackles (17 solo) and two sacks on the season, fantasy owners won't be lining up to start Bailey if he's healthy.

Chiefs' Allen Bailey: Recovered from pectoral injury
Rotowire
Bailey (pectoral) is 100 percent healthy and has his full strength and motion back, BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Chiefs' Allen Bailey: Practices fully Thursday
Rotowire
Bailey (calf) practiced fully Thursday, Blair Kerkhoff of The Kansas City Star reports.
Bailey had been able to practice fully last week, but the Chiefs opted to play it safe and keep their defensive end out of last Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, his fourth absence in as many games. While Thursday's practice status certainly is a good sign for his game-time availability this week, we'll learn more about his status against the Chargers after Friday's injury report surfaces.

Rotowire

Chiefs' Allen Bailey: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Bailey (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Bills.
Considering Bailey didn't practice at all this week, it shouldn't come as a surprise that he will skip another game Sunday. This week marks his third straight absence, and the combo of Jaye Howard and Dontari Poe will likely anchor the middle and the defensive end spot left vacant by Bailey.

Rotowire
Bailey (calf) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Chargers.
