When the Falcons acquired cornerback Jeff Okudah in a trade with the Lions, it was initially reported that Atlanta would have to pay him a little over $5 million this season. That’s not bad for a former No. 3 overall pick who is likely to start for the team in 2023.
However, according to Pro Football Focus’ Brad Spielberger, the Lions have agreed to pay $1.5 million of Okudah’s salary. This brings Okudah’s 2023 cap hit down to $3.62 million for the Falcons.
