Falcons Trade for Dexter, Release Trice | NFL News

The Atlanta Falcons just pulled off a savvy trade, acquiring defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr. from the Chicago Bears in exchange for cornerback Clark Phillips III and a fifth-round pick in 2027. Dexter, a six-foot-six, 300-plus-pound force who started all 17 games last season with six sacks, fills a critical need on Atlanta’s interior defensive line—especially as they finalize their roster ahead of the deadline. The Bears, meanwhile, add depth to their secondary with Phillips, a fourth-round pick sidelined by injuries but full of potential. Meanwhile, the Falcons cut ties with defensive end Bralen Trice, a third-round pick who never played a regular-season game after tearing his ACL as a rookie. With roster cuts looming, these moves signal Atlanta’s commitment to building a tougher, more impactful defense for the upcoming season.
