This detail prevented Bears from trading for Matthew Judon: ‘It’ll make me sick’
NY Post
The lack of an extension led to Matthew Judon’s exit from the Patriots.
And it also kept him from landing with the Bears.
Chicago had the parameters in place for a deal with New England for Judon in exchange for a third-round pick that hinged on agreeing to an extension with the star pass rusher.
The deal never came to fruition, with the Patriots instead sending Judon to the Falcons for a third-round selection. Atlanta made the deal without an extension, meaning Judon may stay for just one season.

“But when it comes to losing all flexibility, like I don’t think that would be smart, even if he has success. Now, if he has 20 sacks or something, yeah, it’ll make me sick.”
