Falcons Trade CB for DT Dexter | Atlanta Falcons News

Atlanta Falcons make a bold defensive move, trading cornerback Clark Phillips III and a 2027 fifth-round pick to the Bears for massive defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. Dexter, a 6’6”, 326-pound second-round pick with starting experience, joins a revamped front seven alongside Maason Smith and DaShawn Hand. The Falcons are clearly prioritizing interior power to strengthen their defensive line, while Phillips, a fourth-round pick who contributed with tackles and an interception, departs after showing flashes. The deal is pending physical — and could reshape the Falcons’ defensive identity for the season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
