Does Judon fix Atlanta's pass rush? What's next for the Patriots? Let's size up the biggest trades of the NFL preseason.
'Walking out of there, it was a weight lifted off my shoulders': Why Malachi Nelson sought a fresh start at Boise State. For some front offices, that includes making savvy trades to address weaknesses, attack their Super Bowl window or plan for the future.
Basically, the Falcons were desperate. And they also had very little money to work with -- the Falcons have just $3.5 million in 2024 cap space and $8 million in 2025 cap space before rollovers, of which Atlanta will get almost none. In Judon, Atlanta landed a player that maybe can be part of the solution, with"maybe" and"part" being pretty important words. I have my fair share of skepticism.
The case for Judon is that he recorded 15.5 sacks in 2022 and managed 4.0 sacks in an abbreviated four-game season last year. That's what Atlanta's buying -- Judon's past sack production.Check out Matthew Judon's key stats during his time with the Patriots as the linebacker heads to the Falcons.that cost him the final 13 games of the 2023 season. And despite the four sacks last season, he only managed a 13% pass rush win rate at edge -- below average for the position.
It's still unclear what Judon will cost financially. If his contract were to be left as is, he would cost Atlanta $7.5 million on a one-year deal. Of course, he wasESPN's Dan Graziano reported that the Falcons do not currently have a new contract in place for Judon but the two sides plan to work on one prior to the start of the season. That seems like a dangerous game to play given what's happening withIt's also worth mentioning this is a problem of the Falcons' own making.
They also could have made a move earlier in the offseason. Speaking of Reddick, he would have been a better, healthier and younger option! Reddick was dealt to the Jets in March for similar draft compensation, though he would have cost more money, forcing the Falcons to have to effectively borrow from 2026's cap.All that being said, on Wednesday morning the Falcons were a team trying to win immediately but needing a player who can get to the quarterback. With this trade, they have one now.
