The NFC South favorites just got a big boost to their defense.
Although they haven’t made the playoffs since 2017, the Atlanta Falcons believe they have a chance this season. Not just to make the postseason, but to win the NFC South outright. The truth is, the Falcons aren’t the only ones who believe this to be a realistic possibility.
Having the opportunity to draft young studs like Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, and Drake London is the one benefit of consecutive losing seasons. But for the Falcons, they expect that experience to soon be nothing more than a memory. The Falcons know this too. Which is why, as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday, Atlanta has traded a 2025 third-round pick to the New England Patriots in exchange for proven veteran pass rusher, Matthew Judon.Judon is a proven commodity in a market that holds pass rushers at a premium. Just ask Jason Licht and the Buccaneers — highly productive edge rushers aren’t easy to come by.
