Kaleb McGary: Hanging up the cleats
McGary announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday, per his representation Collin Roberts.
McGary inked a two-year, $30 million contract with the Falcons prior to the start of the 2025 campaign and was expected to hold down the fort as the team's starting right tackle, but a left leg injury suffered last August forced him to miss the entire year. New head coach Kevin Stefanski expressed optimism as recently as late March that McGary could be ready for the start of training camp this offseason, but instead Atlanta will need to seek a new right tackle to cover the blindsides of southpaw QBs Michael Penix (ACL) and Tua Tagovailoa. To fill the void left by McGary, the Falcons are signing Jawaan Taylor to a one-year deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
