Matthew Judon traded on his birthday and reveals the ‘biggest discrepancy’ that led to Patriots elimination

On his 32nd birthday, linebacker Matthew Judon surprised his fans. The New England Patriots exchanged it for the Atlanta Falcons. The LB wanted to stay with the Pats until the end of his career. However, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reported that Judon gave the franchise an ultimatum to trade him if they did not want to extend his contract. But that went against him. And he would play for a new team in 2024. Now the player has revealed what went wrong.

At his most recent appearance in NBC Sports Boston broadcastJudon told host Kayla Burton that management never discussed the contract in person. He noted that the biggest discrepancy was the shady communication, saying: “They didn’t know where I was and I kind of didn’t know where they were. It was always texts or calls, we just never sat down together. I think that was the biggest disconnect.“His comments could damage her reputation.”

Judon did not have a good relationship with the Pats’ management and argued with Jerod Mayo during a training session. He did not train in the following sessions. This could be the reason why his requests to discuss the contract were not met. But the veteran knows the nature of the game. He is looking forward to the new phase of his career. And he knows that not everything will be easy.

Falcons reporter Marc Raimondi tweeted Judon’s comments about Dirty Birds. He wrote: ” The Falcons know nothing about me as a football player or as a person. They know my history so far. I can’t ask for or ask for something I haven’t worked for. I will work for it.“He brings 8 years of NFL experience with him. And he wouldn’t need much time to adapt to the new conditions. But he has opened Pandora’s box for his previous team.”

The Pats are already struggling to find players and have been in a rebuilding phase since the departure of the GOAT. Tom BradyAnd Matthew Judon’s revelations don’t help them.

After Matthew Judon’s departure, the Patriots are working on their QB situation

Head Coach Jerod Mayo has not given a second thought to the transfer of the linebacker. He has much bigger problems to solve. The biggest is the decision about the starting quarterback. Before the preseason Jacoby Brissett was considered the favorite with Drake May but the second warm-up match against Philadelphia Eagles (on August 15) has increased the latter’s chances. The freshman finished the game 6 of 11 passing for 47 passing yards, 15 rushing yards and a 4-yard touchdown run. The veteran QB finished the game just 3 of 7 passing for 17 yards and an interception. Mayo is watching his signal-callers closely.

After the game, the coach told reporters that he had missed the last warm-up game against Washington Commanders. And will then choose their starting QB. However, he hinted for the first time that Maye could start in a few games, saying: “Everything is going in the right direction at the moment and hopefully he will continue to improve.“The Pats hope he does it soon.”

The team starts its campaign on September 8th against Cincinnati Bengals. Mayo’s first mission is to get them into the playoffs. They have failed to qualify for the last two seasons. He will have to work smart and act quickly to get back on his feet. The season would be interesting.
