Matthew Judon is officially a member of the Atlanta Falcons.

The Patriots and Falcons technically finalized the trade Thursday, but things truly became official official Saturday as the 32-year-old made his first appearance in red and black gear prior to Atlanta's preseason matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

He's still rocking the red sleeves, by the way.

Judon will not play Saturday, but the expectation is he will suit up for the Falcons without the extension he's long been asking for. Atlanta went out and made another splash move after trading for the edge rusher, which should give them an opportunity to compete for the NFC South.

Judon, who began his career in Baltimore, likely will begin his new chapter during Atlanta's matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars next Friday.
