Matthew Bergeron

No. 65 · 4th season

Bergeron locked in before most players figure out which city they're in

Getting a long-term deal before your fourth season means the team has seen enough. They are not waiting to find out.

Matthew Bergeron arrived in Atlanta in 2023 and went straight into the starting lineup — no easing in, no redshirt period, just show up and play. At a position where trust takes years to build, that kind of immediate footing is rare.

Now the Atlanta Falcons have signed Bergeron to a four-year extension, making it official what most people in the building already knew: he is their guy up front for a long time.

For a young offensive lineman, this is the moment everything he has worked for gets confirmed in writing. The Falcons are betting their line on him, and they are doing it early.

That extension is a statement. Now comes the part where he proves it right.
