49ers Signing EDGE Matthew Judon

Fowler adds Judon has a chance to be an early elevation for Week 4.

Judon, 34, is a former fifth-round pick of the Ravens back in 2016. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2.595 million contract before being franchised by the Ravens.

Judon was once again in line to be an unrestricted free agent when he signed a four-year, $56 million deal with the Patriots. He was entering the final year of thta deal when he was traded to Atlanta prior to the 2024 season in exchange for a third-round pick.

The Dolphins signed Judon to a one-year contract last August but waived him in December. He caught on to Buffalo’s practice squad to end the year but was let go after the playoffs. 

In 2025, Judon appeared in 13 games for the Dolphins and recorded 19 total tackles, one tackle for loss, no sacks and one pass deflection.
