The New England Patriots are trading Pro Bowl pass rusher Matthew Judon to the Atlanta Falcons for a third-round pick, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The trade comes amid Judon’s contract stalemate with the Pats, with whom he has played the past three seasons.
Judon, 31, was due a base salary of $6.5 million in the final year of his contract. New England made a contract offer to Judon this summer, which Judon did not accept, sources told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
