The Atlanta Falcons have reached a four-year, $57 million extension with star linebacker Deion Jones through the 2023 season, agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.
The deal, announced by the team, also includes $34 million guaranteed for the one-time Pro Bowler.
Jones, a former second-round draft pick from LSU who led the Falcons in tackles during the 2016 and 2017 seasons, is considered to be the top coverage linebacker in the NFL.
The deal comes on the heels of the Falcons signing defensive tackle Grady Jarrett to four-year, $68 million deal that included $38 million guaranteed at signing.
