Falcons give OT Jake Matthews a three-year extension

The Atlanta Falcons have rewarded one of their most consistent players, giving left tackle Jake Matthews a three-year extension on Monday as the team prepares for free agency.

Matthews, 30, restructured his contract last season to free up $8.6 million. His new deal will give the Falcons even more flexibility as he was set to earn over $24 million this season.

Matt Ryan reworked his contract earlier this week and Calvin Ridley’s suspension gives the team another $11 million off the books.

According to Over the Cap, the Falcons have $16.1 million in cap space without Matthews’ updated cap number for 2022. We’ll update the story with the official numbers once they become available.
