Falcons sign LG Matthew Bergeron to $96M contract extension

· Yahoo Sports

The Atlanta Falcons have signed left guard Matthew Begeron to a four-year contract extension, the team announced on Saturday afternoon. Bergeron, a second-round pick back in 2023, has quietly established himself as one of the better interior linemen in the NFL over the last three seasons.

According to NFL insiders Mike Garafolo and Jeremy Fowler, Bergeron has agreed to a four-year, $96 million contract extension that will keep him in Atlanta through the 2030 season. The contract is worth a reported $60 million in guaranteed money.

This is a big deal for the Falcons as Bergeron gives the team some stability up front. Atlanta just lost center Drew Dalman in 2025 and right tackle Kaleb McGary retired in the offseason.

The Falcons had  $38,606,359 in salary cap space available prior to Bergeron's extension, according to Over The Cap. The fourth-year guard was due to make $4,806,451 in the final year of his deal in 2026, so we will have to wait and see how his extension is structured.

Since entering the league in 2023, Bergeron has started 49 games at left guard for the Falcons. The former Syracuse standout played tackle in college before moving to guard under former Falcons head coach Arthur Smith.

Bergeron's extension is another big win for first-year Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham. The team has still yet to get a deal down with star running back Bijan Robinson, however, we would expect one to happen soon since he's holding out in practice.

Robinson has appeared at practice the last four days but has yet to participate in drills as he waits for a new deal.
