The Atlanta Falcons have secured first-round pick Jalon Walker, signing him to a four-year, $20.56 million contract. As the 15th overall selection, Walker is poised to enhance Atlanta's pass rush. Alongside him, the team has also inked rookie contracts for safety Xavier Watts, defensive back Billy Bowman, and offensive lineman Jack Nelson. The final member of the 2025 draft class, EDGE James Pearce Jr., remains unsigned but will attend rookie minicamp with the rest of the drafted players. Walker's contract has a cap hit of $3,738,612 for the 2025 season, critical for the Falcons as they strategize around salary cap implications for the upcoming year.
