Falcons Trade for Sack Machine Dexter | Atlanta Falcons News

The Falcons just pulled off a savvy move, trading for defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. — a 24-year-old sack machine with elite pass-rushing upside and massive size — to instantly upgrade their struggling defensive line. Acquired before roster cuts in exchange for a cornerback and a fifth-round pick, Dexter fills a critical need as key starters sit out, bringing immediate impact and versatility. While he’s not a run-stopper, his ability to pressure quarterbacks is exactly what Atlanta lacked. With his rookie deal expiring next year, the Falcons must act fast to lock him down — but for now, this trade is a bold, timely boost that signals serious intent to turn things around on defense.
