For those of us hoping the Falcons don’t trade Julio Jones in 2021, a Grady Jarrett extension or restructure is the dream. Atlanta’s best defensive player by a mile and a half is still only 28 years old, and re-working his deal could free up enough cap space to sign the rookie class and add a couple more veterans through the summer as the team gets a better look at their roster battles and team needs.
Given the seeming win-win nature of a new deal for the Falcons, who need all the impact defenders they can get, you might think this team would be knee deep in negotiations with Grady Jarrett’s representation.
