Overview
- McGary’s extension guarantees him $30 million over two seasons, locking up the right tackle spot through the 2026 campaign.
- He underwent a scope on bone spurs in his left ankle during the offseason, missed OTAs and minicamp, and has now fully returned to training camp.
- Entering his seventh NFL season, McGary will move from right tackle to protect Penix’s blindside as part of the Falcons’ stabilized offensive line.
- Per Pro Football Focus, he has earned at least a 76 run-blocking grade in each of the past three seasons, including a 91.6 mark in 2022-23.
- The Falcons hope continuity with McGary, Pro Bowl guard Chris Lindstrom and tackle Jake Matthews will help end their eight-year playoff drought.
