In a somewhat surprising move, the Atlanta Falcons are moving on from defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, one of their franchise players over the last decade.
The Falcons released the two-time Pro Bowler on Monday in a cost-saving move, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jarrett's cap number for 2025 was $20,375,000 and the Falcons save $12,125,000 by releasing him, according to Roster Management System. There was thought to be a possibility of restructuring and extending Jarrett, but Atlanta ended up cutting him outright.
