Falcons Sign Long Snapper Liam McCullough to Four-Year Extension

The Atlanta Falcons have signed long snapper Liam McCullough to a four-year contract extension, solidifying their special teams unit ahead of the upcoming free agency period. McCullough, who has played in all 51 games since joining the team in 2022, is the first of the Falcons' impending free agents to secure a new deal. In contrast, the Falcons opted not to tender restricted free agents Dee Alford and Nate Landman, making them unrestricted free agents as the team aims to navigate salary cap challenges. Alford, a key contributor in the secondary, and Landman, who stepped in as a starter, will now seek opportunities in free agency. This move reflects the Falcons' strategy to retain key players while also needing to address roster changes and salary cap issues in the coming weeks. The team is expected to continue evaluating its roster as it prepares for the new league year, which officially begins on March 12.
