What happened: The extension carries $46.5 million guaranteed and was completed by Drew and Jason Rosenhaus. It comes one month after Atlanta's Aug. 30 addition of the same Gervon Dexter Sr. acquired in late August.
Why it matters: Dexter opened 2026 with back-to-back strong weeks, leading all defensive tackles with 14 pressures. He ranked eighth in quarterback pressure rate entering Week 4, stabilizing Atlanta's interior rotation.
By the numbers: Contract: 4 years, $78M; $46.5M guaranteed. Production: 14 pressures (1st among DTs); 8th in QB pressure rate.
What to watch: Watch Dexter's snap share and interior pressure through October as Atlanta measures early return on the extension.
