  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Terrell recorded seven total tackles (six solo) and one interception in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers. The Clemson product finished tied as the Falcons' second-leading tackler Sunday, trailing only Kaden Elliss' 11-stop effort. Terrell was also one of two Falcons to pick off Baker Mayfield in Week 8, intercepting a pass in the fourth quarter to help Atlanta maintain a two-score lead. The 26-year-old corner is expected to continue making plays for the Falcons' defense in Week 9, when the Cowboys come to Atlanta.

• Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Inks four-year extension

  08/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Terrell agreed Thursday with the Falcons on a four-year, $81 million contract extension, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The deal includes $65.8 million guaranteed and makes Terrell the second-highest paid cornerback on an annual basis at $20.25 million, trailing only the Packers' Jaire Alexander, per Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com. Terrell, whom the Falcons took 16th overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, was a second-team All-Pro selection in 2021, when he recorded career highs in tackles (81), pass breakups (16) and interceptions (three). He hasn't recorded an interception over the last two seasons, but he's still amassed 20 pass breakups during that span.

• Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Forces zero turnovers in 2023

  01/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Terrell finished 2023 with 45 tackles (34 solo) and 11 pass defenses in 17 appearances. Terrell is considered one of the best cover cornerbacks in the league, but he's struggled to generate production the last two seasons, especially in the playmaking department. After totaling four interceptions and four forced fumbles across his first two NFL seasons, the 2020 first-round pick has recorded just one fumble recovery over the last two campaigns. As long as that trend continues, Terrell is a better player in real life than fantasy. Atlanta exercised the fifth-year team option for 2024 on Terrell's rookie deal, so he'll be back next season, though he's slated to be an unrestricted free agent after that.

• Falcons' A.J. Terrell: Questionable for Sunday

  12/08/2023 • By RotoWire

  Terrell (concussion) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. The All-Pro cornerback seems to be trending in the right direction to play this weekend, as he went from logging a limited practice session Thursday to a full workload Friday. Nonetheless, Terrell must clear concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday, and if he's unable to do so, Dee Alford and Clark Phillips would likely see more work in the Falcons' secondary.
