Falcons Extend Right Tackle Kaleb McGary Two Years

The Atlanta Falcons have signed right tackle Kaleb McGary to a two-year, $30 million contract extension, securing him as a cornerstone of their offensive line through the 2025 season. McGary, a 2019 first-round draft pick who has started 92 games, provides stability as the Falcons transition to new quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and implement changes at center. Both Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins will miss the preseason opener, allowing Easton Stick and Emory Jones to take snaps. Training camp has featured spirited competition, with head coach Raheem Morris actively participating in drills and addressing minor player scuffles. The extension demonstrates Atlanta's commitment to protecting their quarterback and solidifying offensive line play. McGary's presence is considered vital to the Falcons' offensive ambitions this season.
