Falcons Lock Down Key Lineman! McGary Extension & Parsons Rumors!

The Atlanta Falcons are making moves to solidify their offensive line and potentially bolster their defense. Kaleb McGary, the Falcons' starting right tackle, has signed a two-year extension, keeping him in Atlanta through the 2027 season. This is a significant move for the Falcons, who are prioritizing continuity on the offensive line.

McGary, a first-round pick in 2019, has developed into a consistently high-graded run-blocking tackle. His extension ensures that the Falcons' core offensive line group, including Chris Lindstrom, Jake Matthews, and Matthew Bergeron, will remain together for the foreseeable future. This level of continuity is rare in the NFL and provides a solid foundation for the Falcons' offense. Only Ryan Neuzil is expected to change the lineup, taking over at center after Drew Dalman's departure; Neuzil started eight games in 2024, so the impact should be minimal.

Parsons Trade Rumors Swirl

In addition to the McGary extension, rumors are circulating about a potential trade for Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons. While these are just rumors at this point, the Falcons' interest in a player of Parsons' caliber demonstrates their commitment to improving their defense. Adding Parsons would give the Falcons' defense a significant boost and provide a much-needed pass-rushing threat.
