The Falcons are serious about fixing their defense, and might turn next to someone who knows the area.

According to Jim Wyatt of the Tennesseean, Titans outside linebacker Derrick Morgan is scheduled to visit the Falcons.

Morgan led the Titans with 6.5 sacks last year, but couldn’t get a long-term deal out of them.

Now, the former Georgia Tech star could become part of a quick fix there, as the Falcons already have deals with linebackers Brooks Reed and Justin Durant.

But the need for a pass-rusher has been significant for the Falcons (for the last two or three offseasons) and Morgan would be a step in that direction.
