Falcons Trade for Dexter, Allen Out | 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. This move instantly upgrades their interior line, locking in six starters including DaShawn Hand, LaCale London, Maason Smith, Zach Harrison, and Brandon Dorlus. While the defense gains serious depth and flexibility, it leaves undrafted rookie Carlos Allen Jr. — who impressed in practices and preseason — on the outside looking in. With the roster now full at the position, Allen’s late surge appears to have fallen just short of a 53-man roster spot.
