Jarrett was an unquestioned leader for the Falcons throughout his tenure, but the veteran was released just hours before free agency opened up, and the Bears soon after locked Jarrett down to a three-year deal.

GM Ryan Poles continued his overhaul of the offensive line by adding Drew Dalman, then turned his attention to the defensive line.

The most significant moves the Falcons have made this offseason have come in the form of goodbyes, most notably Grady Jarrett, who the club (somewhat) surprisingly released earlier this week.

When the Chicago Bears signed Grady Jarrett to a three-year, $43.5 million contract, they added a trusted veteran who will plug up holes in the middle of the defensive line.
