On Sunday night, the Atlanta Falcons reportedly extended one long-tenured future Ring of Honor inductee in Jake Matthews. On Monday, they’re reportedly cutting ties with another legend, with the release of Grady Jarrett in a bid to save cap space ahead of the start of free agency.
Zach Klein of WSB TV had the news first. The Falcons are set to free up over $16 million in 2025 cap room, per Over the Cap, while taking a little over $4 million in dead money on.
Stunner… Atlanta Falcons are releasing Grady Jarrett.
Grady’s agent Todd France (@toddfrance_ on IG) of @AthletesFirst tells me.
