Falcons Trade for Dexter, Phillips Heads to Bears | Atlanta Falcons News

The Atlanta Falcons strike a savvy deal, acquiring defensive tackle Gervon Dexter from the Chicago Bears in exchange for cornerback Clark Phillips and a fifth-round pick. Dexter, coming off a career-high six sacks, adds depth to Atlanta’s front seven while opening a spot for Jordan van den Berg on Chicago’s defensive line. Meanwhile, Phillips joins a Bears secondary still recovering from injuries, despite his own past triceps issues and limited interception history. With both teams reshuffling their rosters, this trade sets the stage for intriguing matchups as the season heats up.
