Mon Mar 10 08:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Falcons Left Tackle Jake Matthews Signs Two-Year, $45 Million Extension
**Atlanta, GA** – The Atlanta Falcons have locked up their veteran left tackle, Jake Matthews, for the next two seasons. The team announced a two-year contract extension with Matthews worth $45 million, including a hefty $38 million guaranteed.
Matthews, a stalwart of the Falcons’ offensive line since being drafted sixth overall in 2014, had two years remaining on his previous contract. However, none of his base salary was guaranteed, prompting the team to secure his services with this substantial extension. The deal ensures Matthews will remain a key component of the Falcons’ offensive line for the foreseeable future.
Matthews, known for his durability and consistency, has only missed one start in his nine-year career. His 179 career games played rank seventh in franchise history, a mark he’s poised to significantly improve upon with this new agreement.
