The Atlanta Falcons signed right tackle Kaleb McGary to a two-year, $30 million contract extension, securing the position for the next few seasons. McGary, a seasoned player known for his run-blocking skills, will now protect lefty quarterback Michael Penix Jr.'s blindside. Despite recovering from offseason ankle surgery, McGary is fit for training camp. He emphasizes focusing on his performance over contract concerns, expressing a commitment to improving the team's success. Maintaining an effective offensive line is critical for the Falcons moving forward.
"You'll never find somebody more willing to be paid in all your life, trust me. I'm not really worried about it. I'm worried about the season and if I don't do my job well enough then there's not much reason to worry about it. So, I'm just one thing at a time. That's all."
McGary, 30, is known for his run-blocking prowess, but will now have to cover the blindside of left-handed quarterback Michael Penix Jr.
McGary had bone spurs in his left ankle and got a scope done in the offseason. He missed OTAs and minicamp due to the injury, but has returned fully for training camp.
Continuity on the offensive line is a priority for the Falcons, who have Pro Bowl right guard Chris Lindstrom and stalwart left tackle Jake Matthews signed through 2028.
