The first-year Falcons coach is excited about the franchise's newest acquisition.
from the New England Patriots on Wednesday, ending a contract negotiation saga between the Patriots and Judon that lasted throughout training camp.
Judon, who is a four-time Pro Bowler, played just four games last season after tearing his biceps early in the season. However, in 2022, Judon recorded 15.5 sacks and proved that he's still a top pass rusher in the game.Morris saidThe trade to the Falcons does not come with a new contract for Judon, who will play out the final season of his contract with Atlanta before the team and player both decide whether or not to commit long-term."His reputation precedes himself.
For a defensively minded head coach like Morris, the Judon acquisition is certainly exciting and will only further add to the expectations for his first year as coach in Atlanta.Mike McDaniel is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where he has worked since January 2022.
