Bergeron's extension is for four years and $96 million with $60 million guaranteed, per @JFowlerESPN and @MikeGarafolo. Via @marcraimondi on X

What happened: The deal keeps Atlanta’s starting left guard in place beyond his rookie contract. Bergeron entered the NFL as the No. 38 overall pick in 2023.

Why it matters: The $24 million annual average ties the top of the guard market. Atlanta gains long-term cost certainty at a key offensive-line position.

By the numbers: The guarantees represent 62.5% of the extension’s total value. Bergeron started all 48 of his games over his first three seasons.

What to watch: The contract’s signing bonus, annual cap charges and guarantee schedule will define its roster impact.
