The Atlanta Falcons and guard Matthew Bergeron have agreed to a four-year, $96-million extension, sources told NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo and ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
The deal reportedly contains $60 million guaranteed.
The Falcons confirmed the extension for the Canadian offensive lineman, though they did not announce the financial details of the deal.
“Matthew is the type of player you build around,” general manager Ian Cunningham said in a statement. “He’s establishing himself as one of the top young guards in the NFL, and his toughness, consistency and leadership have made him a cornerstone of our offensive line and the culture we’re building in Atlanta.”
