Matthew Judon

Matthew Judon said he isn’t going to ask the Falcons for a contract extension.

Judon has spent the last two seasons trying to get a new contract out of the Patriots. Things finally reached a boiling point earlier this summer, which ultimately led to the Patriots trading him to the Falcons in exchange for a third-round pick. When asked about getting a new extension from the Falcons, Judon said, “The Falcons know nothing about me as a football player or as a man. They know my previous resumé. I can’t really demand or ask for anything I haven’t worked for. I’m gonna work for it.” It doesn’t sound like the Falcons will have to worry about finding themselves in a situation similar to that of Haason Reddick and the Jets, as Judon seems more than ready to play out the final year of his deal this season now that he’s with a new team.
