Jets' Takk McKinley: Added by Jets
The Jets signed McKinley on Thursday.
The 2017 first-round pick out of UCLA has struggled to find his place in the NFL, but he's been given a new opportunity by the Jets. McKinley most recently played for the Rams in 2022, recording just one total tackle across four contests (23 total snaps). Now that McKinley has inked a deal with New York, he'll likely be competing for a depth role on the Jets' defensive line as the offseason progresses.

Takk McKinley: Cut by Dallas

Cowboys' Takkarist McKinley: Inks one-year deal with Dallas
McKinley agreed to a one-year deal with Dallas on Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
McKinley was cut by the Rams in mid-October and signed a practice-squad deal with Dallas a month later. He didn't make any appearances for the Cowboys down the stretch, but he appears to have made enough of an impression in practices to get a chance to compete for a roster spot in 2023. The 2017 first-round pick recorded 16.5 sacks over his first three seasons in Atlanta, but he has just 3.5 across the past three campaigns.

Rams' Takkarist McKinley: Catches on with Rams
The Rams signed McKinley off Tennessee's practice squad Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
McKinley appeared in 11 games for the Browns last year before tearing his Achilles in December. After returning to full strength, he worked out for a few teams this offseason but could only garner a practice-squad deal from the Titans. However, the former first-round pick will now get an opportunity to carve out a reserve role with the defending champions.

Takkarist McKinley: Works out for Dallas
The Cowboys hosted McKinley (Achilles) for a tryout Saturday, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.
McKinley's 2021 campaign with the Browns ended back in December due to a torn Achilles, so it's encouraging to see him already working out. Team owner/GM Jerry Jones said he "had a good visit with [McKinley]," and noted that the defensive end has "a chance to play this year." Jones said that a contract was discussed, but no agreement with McKinley has been reached.
