Jarrett and the Bears reached agreement Monday on a three-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Released by Atlanta earlier in the day, Jarrett waited only a few hours before agreeing to a contract that's reportedly worth $43.5 million, including $28.5 million guaranteed. He's long been one of the NFL's better interior pass rushers, but he had just 2.5 sacks last season after suffering an ACL tear in 2023. He did play all 17 games in 2024, and his peripheral pass-rush numbers (e.g. 12 QB hits) were more impressive than the lackluster sack total. The Bears apparently have high hopes for Jarrett in his age-32 season ahead.

The Falcons are in line to release Jarrett, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jarrett, a 2015 fifth-round pick, has played the entirety of his 10-year NFL career to date in Atlanta, making the team's decision to move on from the two-time Pro Bowler somewhat unexpected. The 31-year-old came back from an ACL tear suffered in 2023 to play all 17 regular-season games in 2024, racking up 53 tackles (30 solo), including 2.5 sacks. His release saves the Falcons roughly $12.1 million in cap space, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com.

Jarrett finished the 2024 season with 53 total tackles (30 solo), including 2.5 sacks, over 17 games.

EDGE Analysis

Jarrett was able to appear in all 17 of Atlanta's contests this season, reaching at least 50 takedowns for the seventh time in his 10-year NFL career. The defensive lineman is still under contract for another season with the Falcons and he'll likely operate in a starting role with the team again in 2025.

Jarrett (Achilles) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Jarrett popped up on the Falcons' injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to an Achilles issue. However, he upgraded to a full session Friday, suggesting that he's moved past his injury in time to face Denver on Sunday. Now that the Clemson product is back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Falcons' top interior defensive lineman in Week 11.

Jarrett (Achilles) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jarrett injured his Achilles in Week 9 against the Cowboys, but that didn't prevent him from playing against the Saints this past Sunday. Unless he downgrades to a DNP on Friday, the 2015 fifth-round pick should be able to suit up against Denver on Sunday. Jarrett has registered 19 tackles (16 solo), including 2.5 sacks, through the first 10 games of the regular season.

Jarrett (Achilles) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints and is expected to play.

EDGE Analysis

Jarrett was injured last Sunday against Dallas but won't miss any games. The 31-year-old has logged 30 tackles (19 solo), including 2.5 sacks, on 65 percent of the Falcons' defensive snaps this season.

Jarrett (Achilles) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jarrett is considered day-to-day due to an Achilles injury he picked up during the Falcons' 27-21 win over the Cowboys this past Sunday. Even if he's able to log a full practice this week, that doesn't guarantee that he'll be given the green light to play Sunday against the Saints. If Jarrett were to miss time or play on a snap count, Kentavius Street and Ta'Quon Graham would be the top candidates to see increased snaps at defensive end.

Jarrett (Achilles) told reporters that he's considered day-to-day following a promising MRI on Monday, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old defensive tackle played 31 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, before exiting Week 9's win over the Cowboys with what appeared to be a serious injury. However, Kendall's report Monday suggests that Jarrett could return as soon as Week 10's matchup against the Saints. Jarrett's practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up in New Orleans on Sunday.

Jarrett will not return to Sunday's game versus the Cowboys due to an Achilles strain, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to exiting, Jarrett recorded two solo tackles and 1.0 sacks. In his absence, Kentavius Street and Ta'Quon Graham are candidates to fill in at left defensive end.

Jarrett recorded three tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Jarrett mustered only 1.5 sacks across eight appearances before tearing his ACL last year, but he's back to full strength and making his presence felt in Atlanta's new-look 3-4 defense. Jarrett recorded a career-high 7.5 sacks in 2019, but since then, he's totaled just 12.5 sacks over his last four seasons.
