There are just a few more days before the 2019 NFL Draft, and things are starting to get interesting around Flowery Branch. While there has been ample speculation about where the Falcons will go with their first pick (and others), Atlanta appears to be moving closer to locking up Grady Jarrett long-term. The Falcons announced on Monday evening that the star defensive tackle had signed his franchise tag.
By signing his tag, Jarrett’s $15.2M salary becomes fully guaranteed for 2019. However, the Falcons continue to work towards signing Jarrett to a long-term contract.
