Free-agent CB Dunta Robinson will sign a multiyear contract with the Falcons by the end of the weekend, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

The majority of the deal is in place, but details still need to be worked out. No problems are expected.

Robinson, who spent six seasons with the Texans, was targeted by the Falcons because the Georgia native would fill a glaring need.

The Falcons already brought back veteran CB Brian Williams, who was signed off the street last season and became the starter before a season-ending knee injury in Week 6.
