McGary announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday, per his representation Collin Roberts.
ANALYSIS
McGary inked a two-year, $30 million contract with the Falcons prior to the start of the 2025 campaign and was expected to hold down the fort as the team's starting right tackle, but a left leg injury suffered last August forced him to miss the entire year. New head coach Kevin Stefanski expressed optimism as recently as late March that McGary could be ready for the start of training camp this offseason, but instead Atlanta will need to seek a new right tackle to cover the blindsides of southpaw QBs Michael Penix (ACL) and Tua Tagovailoa. To fill the void left by McGary, the Falcons are signing Jawaan Taylor to a one-year deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
McGary has started 92 of 93 games at right tackle in his six-year career. He has missed four games over the last two seasons due to knee injuries.
A 2019 first-round pick, McGary will start at right tackle for the Falcons again in 2024. He missed three games due to an MCL sprain last season.
A 2019 first-round pick, McGary had his fifth-year option declined ahead of 2022, but he went on to have a solid showing at right tackle and earned a three-year, $34.5 million extension this offseason. The 28-year-old has missed only three games in four years.
McGary projects to be the Falcons' starting right tackle to open 2022, but Atlanta declined his fifth-year option this offseason, which is a sign that the Falcons are looking to replace the 2019 first-round pick in the near future.
McGary played in 14 games for the Falcons in 2021, missing two games due to an injury and a family emergency. Atlanta drafted offensive tackle Jalen Mayfield in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but he is unlikely to be a problem for the third-year right tackle since Mayfield is expected to be moved to guard at the NFL level. Barring injury, McGary should once again fill the role of protecting Matt Ryan's right side.
