Bears signing Grady Jarrett: Pro Bowl DT lands massive three-year deal just hours after release from Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons parted ways with a franchise legend by releasing two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Grady Jarrett on Monday, and it didn't take long for him to find a new home. The Chicago Bears are signing Jarrett to a three-year, $43.5 million deal, per CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones.
Why cutting Grady Jarrett does - and doesn't - make sense for the Falcons
Jarrett has ended his Falcons tenure with 36.5 sacks, 496 tackles, and two Pro Bowl appearances. From 2017 to 2022, he recorded four or more sacks in each season except for one. Injuries shortened his 2023 campaign and he finished the year with just 1.5 sacks and 23 tackles. However, he bounced back in 2024 with 53 tackles and 12 quarterback hits.
