Falcons Lock in Gervon Dexter Sr. with $78M Extension After Trade

The Atlanta Falcons have agreed to a four-year, $78 million contract extension with defensive lineman Gervon Dexter Sr., including $46.5 million guaranteed. The deal follows his trade from the Chicago Bears in late August, where he was acquired in exchange for cornerback Clark Phillips III and a 2027 fifth-round pick. Dexter, a 2023 second-round draft pick, has shown strong pass-rushing metrics in his first three games with Atlanta, ranking eighth in the NFL for quarterback pressure rate. The Bears, meanwhile, have maintained a strong defensive pass-rush presence without him, ranking eighth in the league in pass-rush win rate.

Bears address defensive needs with Gator and Hurricane draft picks.

The Chicago Bears selected Gervon Dexter Sr., a defensive tackle from the University of Florida, with the 53rd pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Dexter fills a critical need at the three-technique position in the Bears' defense and is expected to be a long-term solution. While he has yet to play his best football, Dexter has impressive foot quickness and pass-rush potential, and the Bears' coaching staff will work on developing his discipline and consistency.

Chicago Bears' Darnell Wright: A Bold Pick for the 2023 NFL Draft

The Chicago Bears have selected South Carolina defensive tackle Zacch Pickens with the 64th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Pickens is an athletic defensive lineman who can play both the three-technique and one-technique positions. He has near-elite explosiveness and is dangerous when driving offensive linemen into the backfield or attacking individual gaps to disrupt the backfield.

"Buffalo Bills Eye Promising Draft Picks for Future Success"

The Buffalo Bills could select Alabama safety Brian Branch, Florida defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr., Houston wide receiver Nathaniel 'Tank' Dell, UAB running back DeWayne McBride, Sacramento State linebacker Marte Mapu, and Oklahoma tight end Brayden Willis in the 2023 NFL Draft. Branch could be a future starter for the Bills, while Dexter is a versatile defensive tackle who could play both spots within the Bills’ scheme. Dell gives the Bills speed, separation, and versatility at receiver, while McBride is an excellent between-the-tackles runner. Mapu could become a core special teams player for the Bills, and Willis' blocking abilities would allow the Bills to run more two-tight-end formations and develop their run game.
