The Importance of a Stable Offensive Line for the Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have prioritized maintaining the stability of their offensive line, which was a major strength in 2022. The team recently re-signed starting right tackle Kaleb McGary and made right guard Chris Lindstrom the highest-paid guard in the NFL. The Falcons' run-first offensive identity will be key to their success in 2023, and Lindstrom and McGary form a dynamic duo on the right side of the line. However, the team still needs to address the left guard and center positions for long-term stability. The Falcons may look to the NFL Draft to find a solution.

Falcons' Free Agency Frenzy: Grading Day 1 and 2.

The Atlanta Falcons continued to improve their roster on Day 2 of the legal tampering period by signing quarterback Taylor Heinicke and extending tackle Kaleb McGary to a bargain deal. Heinicke is a high-end backup at worst and will compete for the QB1 role, while McGary is arguably the top run-blocking tackle in the league and was extended for well below market value. The Falcons' roster is better than it was 24 hours ago, and these moves are a low-risk value signing and a move of sheer wizardry, respectively.
