The Atlanta Falcons and outside linebacker Matthew Judon are not close to agreeing on a new contract following his trade from the New England Patriots, CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones reported.
Jones wrote that Judon "will come to Atlanta without a new contract in hand, sources say, and there's not an expectation one is imminent."
Accepting a trade without a new deal in place indicates "a great deal of trust" between Judon and the Falcons, Jones noted.
Judon is currently set to play for the Falcons on an expiring contract.
