The Falcons let right tackle Kaleb McGary test the free agent market, but it appears the former first-round pick will return to Atlanta. According to a report from Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the team is signing McGary to a three-year, $34.5 million contract.

The Falcons declined McGary’s fifth-year option last offseason, but he responded with the best season of his NFL career in 2022. When the team chose not to franchise McGary, many thought he would sign a major deal elsewhere.
That deal never came apparently, and now the Falcons have locked up the right side of their offensive line for the next three years at least. Right guard Chris Lindstrom signed a five-year extension on Monday.
Atlanta also signed quarterback Taylor Heinicke on Tuesday morning. Stay up to date with every signing using our Falcons free agency tracker.
