Jarrett’s deal projected to be worth between $76.2 and $82.5 million

Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett’s value is very high after a stellar contract-season.

OverTheCap.com and ProFootballFocus.com have projected that Jarrett is worth a five-year, $82.5 million deal with $46 million guaranteed.

The folks over at Spotrac have a lower, five-year $76.2 million projection on Jarrett.

Jarrett had 52 tackles, six sacks, 16 quarterback hits, three forced fumbles and eight tackles for losses last season.

After going in the fifth-round in the NFL draft, Jarrett signed a four-year $2.527 million deal with the Falcons on May 8, 2015.
