Kaleb McGary is coming off a career-best season where he was a mauling blocker for Atlanta’s resurgent ground game and a pretty solid option in pass protection, as well. The open question all these months was whether that would be enough to spur the Falcons to re-sign him, and the answer is yes.
Per NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Falcons have locked up McGary on a three year deal for a total of $34.5 million. Given the massive contracts that have been handed out to offensive linemen thus far, it’s a minor miracle that the annual average on this deal is going to come in at such a manageable number, and a credit to both sides for finding a deal before free agency opened.
