It appears Atlanta Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon will be bringing a defensive teammate with him to the Valley.

It looks like Falcons DL Corey Peters will end up with the Arizona Cardinals. Likely Peters and Sean Weatherspoon together.

Peters deal, once signed, will be a three-year deal with the Cardinals. Expected be more than $3.5 mil per season.

Peters has 101 solo tackles and 11 sacks in his five-year NFL career. After suffering a season-ending Achilles injury at the end of the 2013 season, he returned to record 15 tackles and two sacks for the Falcons last year.

Atlanta selected Peters with the 83rd overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. He was a Second-team All-SEC selection in his senior season at Kentucky.

Along with Peters, the Cardinals are expected to sign Weatherspoon when the free agent signing period begins Tuesday.
