Matthew Judon sends heartfelt final message to Patriots fans

The New England Patriots traded linebacker Matthew Judon last week in a move that made sense for both parties. Even with the trade, there seems to be no ill will from Judon as he gets set to begin his first season with the Atlanta Falcons.

The linebacker certainly played a major part in the Patriots' defense over the last three seasons, recording 133 tackles and 34 sacks. He was part of the 2021 free-agent spending spree that the Patriots went on under former coach Bill Belichick.

Now, he is set to start a new chapter with the Falcons, who will be able to benefit from his pass-rushing abilities in their own right.
