Grady Jarrett Fantasy

The Atlanta Falcons and defensive tackle Grady Jarrett agreed to a four-year contract extension on Monday. The contract is expected to be worth $68 million with $38 million guaranteed, according to a source. He was initially set to receive the $15.209 million franchise tag if a deal wasn't worked out by Monday. The team can now move on to extensions for receiver Julio Jones and linebacker Deion Jones. The Falcons and Deion Jones' representation will meet face-to-face on Wednesday. Jarrett, a fifth-round pick in 2015, has been a top defender for Atlanta and had 53 total pressures in 2018, according to Pro Football Focus. He also had six sacks, three forced fumbles and a team-high 16 QB hits.

Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett wasn't present for the start of the team's offseason workouts on Monday. Jarrett had the $15.2 million franchise tag placed on him this offseason, and he's hoping to land a long-term contract extension by the deadline on July 15. Owner Arthur Blank has said that Jarrett will be a "Falcon for life," so we'd expect an extension to happen eventually. The soon-to-be 26-year-old had 52 total tackles, a career-high six sacks and three forced fumbles in 14 games for Atlanta in 2018.
