Grady Jarrett Fantasy

The Atlanta Falcons agreed to a three-year contract extension worth up to $51 million with defensive tackle Grady Jarrett on Tuesday, according to sources. The Falcons will lower their salary cap number for this season, while Jarrett receives $34.5 million fully guaranteed. The two-time Pro Bowler is more effective in real life as a run-stuffer than in fantasy leagues. Jarrett finished last season with 59 tackles (38 solo), three tackles for loss, 12 QB hits, one sack and one fumble recovery in 17 starts for Atlanta. He has 26.5 sacks in his seven-year NFL career, but he has never had more than 7.5 sacks in a single season for the Falcons after they made him a fifth-round selection in 2015 out of Clemson.

Atlanta Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell said that defensive tackle Grady Jarrett wasn't present on the first day of the team's voluntary offseason program on Tuesday. Jarrett doesn't appear to be happy with his situation in Atlanta and may want out as he enters the last year of his deal. The soon-to-be 29-year-old could be a trade candidate during next week's draft. Jarrett, who was a Pro Bowler in 2019 and 2020, had 59 tackles (38 solo), three tackles for loss, 12 QB hits, one sack and one fumble recovery in 17 games for the Falcons in 2021. He's been with the Falcons for seven seasons after being selected in the fifth round in 2015 out of Clemson, and he has 26.5 career sacks in 110 games (95 starts).

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.

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.
