The New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons are on the verge of finalizing a deal involving star Matthew Judon, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz,

Judon, 31, skipped organized team activities ahead of the 2023 season and had been a hold-in during the early days of training camp before the Patriots reworked his deal, increasing his guaranteed money from $2 million to $14 million.

He only appeared in four games last season due to injuries, however, though he did have four sacks in those games, bringing his career mark up to 66.
