Matt Judon's contract stalemate with New England is over, and he's on the move to Atlanta, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.

The Patriots are trading Judon to the Falcons in exchange for a 2025 NFL Draft third-round pick, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

Judon and the Falcons have not worked out a new contract, at least not yet, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero added.

New England and Judon, who is set to make a $6.5 million base salary in the final year of his current deal, had been engaging in contract talks to no avail throughout the offseason. The disenchantment went up a level when a seemingly frustrated Judon and head coach Jerod Mayo were seen on video in an animated exchange on July 29.

Since then, Judon expressed his desire to remain with the Pats, but instead is flying south to play for the Falcons, whose pass rush will immediately be infused by the acquisition.

Judon is 31 years old and coming off a 2023 season in which he played just four games due to a bicep tear, but still had four sacks. He's posted 66.5 sacks across his eight-season career with the Baltimore Ravens and Patriots.
