Matthew Judon Not Demanding A New Contract

Matthew Judon Not Demanding A New Contract

3 months ago

New Atlanta Falcons linebacker Matthew Judon said he isn't going to demand a new contract with the Falcons. "The Falcons know nothing about me as a football player or as a man. They know my previous resume. I can't really demand or ask for anything I haven't worked for. I'm gonna work for it," Judon said. Atlanta acquired Judon from the New England Patriots last week in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick. The 32-year-old was seeking a new contract with the Patriots while he heads into the final year of his four-year, $54.5 million deal. He'll immediately become the Falcons' best pass-rusher after making four straight Pro Bowls from 2019-22. Judon tore his right biceps in Week 4 of last year and only missed the rest of the year, but he had a combined 74 solo tackles and 28 sacks in the two previous years in New England. Coming off a serious injury, fantasy managers in IDP leagues will want to take a wait-and-see approach with Judon in 2024.
