NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the two sides agreed on a five-year, $32.5 million contract with $14 million fully guaranteed.

Sanu, 26, has spent his last four seasons with the Bengals since being selected in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

In 2015, he caught 33 passes for 394 yards. Forced into a bigger role due to injuries to A.J. Green and Marvin Jones in 2014, he hauled in a career-high 56 passes for 790 yards and five touchdowns.

Sanu joins Jones as the second receiver to leave the Bengals in free agency this year.

The Falcons had a need a wide receiver after releasing veteran Roddy White earlier this offseason.
