Falcons Trade for Defensive Lineman Dexter | Atlanta Falcons News

Atlanta Falcons make a splashy defensive upgrade by trading for Gervon Dexter Sr., a 6’6”, 326-pound defensive lineman from the Chicago Bears, to fix their struggling run defense. In exchange, they send cornerback Clark Phillips III and a fifth-round pick—Phillips, who missed most of last season with injury and was battling for a backup role. Dexter, a second-round pick in 2023 and a three-year veteran with 13.5 sacks and 48 tackles last year, brings elite size and production. The move signals Atlanta’s focus on bolstering their front seven as they aim to stop the run more effectively this season.
