The Atlanta Falcons have come to terms on a new three year deal with standout defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, ensuring that the former fifth round draft selection will remain in Atlanta for the foreseeable future.
The extension should reduce Jarrett’s cap hit, which was originally slated to be $23.83 million before pen was put to paper, giving the Falcons some much needed relief while also retaining one of their best defensive players in the long run. We’re waiting for specifics on the contract, but the team should be able to sign their draft class and potentially add more free agents with this extension.
