"Kaleb McGary announced his retirement through his agent, Collin Roberts. McGary, 31, started nearly every game for the Falcons since being drafted in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft."
"The Falcons were expecting Kaleb McGary back for training camp to once again bolster the right side of the offensive line. In McGary's absence, the Falcons now have a desperate need for a starting right tackle."
"McGary's retirement immediately frees up approximately $14M in salary cap space in both 2026 and 2027 for the Falcons. It's likely a temporary solution will be needed for the season."
Kaleb McGary, the Atlanta Falcons' starting right tackle, announced his retirement at age 31. He had been a key player since being drafted in 2019. McGary's absence was felt during the 2025 season due to a significant injury. With McGary's retirement, the Falcons face a pressing need for a right tackle, especially after losing reserve guard Elijah Wilkinson to free agency. Storm Norton is expected to step in, but his past performance as a starter raises concerns. The Falcons have limited options for replacement, and McGary's retirement frees up $14M in salary cap space for 2026 and 2027.
