On April 9th, the Atlanta Falcons just locked in a one-year deal worth $5 million with former Kansas City Chiefs' right tackle, Joanne Taylor, plus another $1 million in incentives. This move fills the gap left by Kayla McGarry, who retired this week after a lower left leg injury sideline him for the 2025 season. Right as the Falcons kicked off voluntary workouts under new coach Kevin Stofanski, fans are buzzing about the timing, especially since that right tackle spot is key for blindside protection on their left-handed quarterbacks, Michael, Pinnick's Jr and Tuha Tagovalua. Taylor got cut by the Chiefs back on March 5th and a con-saving play that freed up $20 million for them with one year left on his. Four-year $80 million contract from 2023.

cleans that up quick. That wraps NFL News Today, brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with the story.
