Top Takkarist McKinley News

  • Takkarist McKinley: Released by New York

    The Jets released McKinley on Saturday.

    McKinley's time in New York comes to a close as the team activates Haason Reddick to the active roster. The veteran defensive lineman will try to latch on in a depth capacity elsewhere in the league.

  • 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

    McKinley was released by the Cowboys on Friday, Dallas writer Patrik Walker reports.

    McKinley signed a one-year deal with Dallas in March, but he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere ahead of the 2023 campaign. The linebacker appeared in four games with the Rams last season, recording one tackle while playing 21 snaps between the defensive unit and special teams.

  • 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.

  • Takkarist McKinley: Joins Cowboys' practice squad

    McKinley was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday.

    After being cut by the Rams on Oct. 18, McKinley will get another shot this season, joining Dallas on Wednesday. The linebacker appeared in four games with Los Angeles earlier this season, recording one tackle while playing 16 total defensive snaps.

  • Takkarist McKinley: Done with the Rams

    The Rams released McKinley on Tuesday.

    Los Angeles signed McKinley to their active roster from the Titans' practice squad in September, but he'll now search elsewhere for snaps after he was released Tuesday. Across the Rams' last four contests, the 26-year-old linebacker totaled 16 defensive snaps and just one tackle in that stretch.

  • 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.
