Latest On Former Falcons OLB Matt Judon

   

Following the trade from New England to Atlanta a year ago, OLB Matt Judon didn’t get a new deal and thus became an unrestricted free agent this offseason. 

Per SI.com’s Daniel Flick, Judon is not expected to return to Atlanta after they used two first-round picks on edge rushers in the draft. Additionally, Judon expressed his displeasure with how he was used a year ago, as he feels they used him in coverage too often. 

Judon, 32, is a former fifth-round pick of the Ravens back in 2016. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2.595 million contract before being franchised by the Ravens.

In 2024, Judon appeared in all 17 games for the Falcons and recorded 41 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, one interception for a touchdown and five passes defended.
