The former New England Patriots edge rusher has no love lost for Foxboro.
mark the end of their prolonged offseason saga with Matthew Judon amid his recent trade to the Atlanta Falcons, shipping him over to the NFC for the first time in his career after three years of service in Foxboro.
While a tough decision to make, it felt almost inevitable as we drew nearer to the start of the next NFL season, as the two sides were unable to work out a long-term extension to keep him with the Patriots for the foreseeable future. Without the money being there for either party, the parting of ways was ultimately the route this front office opted to go, with New England receiving a 2025 third-rounder in their package back.
Still, while a trade to the Falcons was the end result , it seems Judon himself still holds New England in a high regard.in his latest interview with CBS Sports Boston, where the edge rusher had nothing but love to dish, dubbing himself as "always" a fan of New England and Massachusetts: "I appreciate y’all for all the memories and everything y’all did for me. It’s not the way that we wanted and I’m sorry that my last play was an injury… as far as being fans and family, we’ll always be that. I’ll always be a fan of New England and Massachusetts because it's done me so well… Hopefully y’all fans of mine wish me success, but I wish y’all nothing but success. And I’ll definitely be back to Foxborough. I’ll definitely be back… I just don’t know when.
While we can't expect Judon to return to Foxboro this season, as the Patriots are scheduled to play the Falcons during the 2025 year, expect to then see a reunion come to form in the event the 32-year-old hammers out an extension with his new squad.
