$28.5 million of this is fully-guaranteed at signing. It’s kind of surprising with this kind of market developing this quickly that the Falcons weren’t able to trade Jarrett, but it is understandable given how much they’re focusing on ignoring moving on from Kirk Cousins. Jarrett will slot in next to Gervon Dexter on the Bears interior, and the Bears have spent heavily on their offensive and defensive lines this offseason in hopes of winning in the trenches.

Jarrett, a two-time Pro Bowler, has spent his entire 10-year career with the Falcons. The veteran tackle was set to enter the final year of his deal, but the Falcons opted to release Garrett in a move that will save them $16.250 million against the cap in 2025. Jarrett, 32, totaled 53 tackles and 2.5 sacks while also putting up nine TFLs last season. After a torn ACL ended his 2023 campaign, he bounced back nicely in 2024 and should have a strong market as a free agent.

Jarrett noted that the “tendon looked good” in his MRI and that he’s positive about his recovery. We’d expect a missed practice or two this week, but perhaps this will just be a minor injury for the Falcons’ longest-tenured defender.

It was a quick rule out, called an Achilles strain by a few Falcons beat writers. That’s a scary injury for an already-thin Falcons line. Jarrett had two tackles and a sack before leaving.
