The Atlanta Falcons and Gervon Dexter Sr. have agreed to a four-year, $78 million extension that includes $46.5 million guaranteed, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter.
The Falcons traded for Dexter right before the season began on Aug. 30, and have now signed him to a big extension exactly one month later.
Dexter, a fourth-year player, had his best statistical season last year with the Bears, racking up 44 total tackles and six sacks. In three games with the Falcons this year, he’s recorded seven tackles, half a sack and 14 pressures.
While an extension wasn’t necessarily part of the deal when Atlanta traded for him, Dexter has already proven his value to the Falcons and will now remain in Atlanta long term.
