Falcons make 3 trades at deadline: Grade each move
Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot somehow managed to complete three trades in the final hour before the deadline on Tuesday. Wide receiver Calvin Ridley was traded to Jacksonville, safety Dean Marlowe was moved to Buffalo, and Atlanta acquired cornerback Rashad Fenton from Kansas City.
Check out the details of each trade below, and make sure to grade all three in our Falcons fan poll.
Falcons trade Calvin Ridley to Jaguars
Falcons receive:
5th-round pick (2024)
Conditional 4th-round pick (2024)
Jaguars receive:
WR Calvin Ridley
Here are the conditions on the 2024 4th rounder that is going from Jags to Falcons, per source.
It stays as a 4 if Calvin Ridley is on the roster.
It goes to a 3 if Ridley reaches certain incentives.
And it becomes a 2 if the Jaguars sign Ridley to a contract extension. https://t.co/e6yoxa05fh
