Falcons Land Dexter in Bold Move | Atlanta Falcons News

The Atlanta Falcons just pulled off a savvy trade, acquiring defensive tackle Gervon Dexter from the Chicago Bears in exchange for Clark Phillips and a fifth-round pick—just weeks after releasing Zach Harrison. With Dexter poised to team up with Brandon Dorlus, the Falcons’ pass-rushing duo could be electric. Even Gerald McCoy, a former Bucs DT and division rival, praised the deal as a “win-win,” noting Dexter’s hometown roots and elite stats (13+ sacks, 100+ pressures). The Bears shipped him out due to scheme fit and contract status, while the Falcons, needing impact players amid injuries, landed a perfect fit.
