ATLANTA — The Atlanta Falcons added defensive help from the free-agent market Thursday by signing defensive end Adrian Clayborn and cornerback Phillip Adams. Adams will provide depth behind Desmond Trufant, Robert Alford and Robert McClain. Clayborn could provide immediate help as a starter — if he can avoid more injuries after playing in only a little more than half of his team's games in his first four seasons.
