Falcons Sign Super Bowl Winner Jawaan Taylor

0:00It's April 8th, NFL news today starts now, AI-powered and game-ready. I'm Cory with the story. The Atlanta Falcons just lost their offensive tackle Caleb McGarry to retirement on Wednesday, but they bounced back fast by signing Jawan Taylor. Hours later, to a one-year deal worth $5 million, with another 1 million impossible incentives, Taylor is no stranger to the big leagues. He's a Super Bowl winner from his time with the Kansas City Chiefs last season, after starting his career as a second-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2019 NFL draft out of the University of Florida. He spent four solid seasons with the Jags before heading to Kansas City in 2023, where he started all 45 games he played, but lately he's caught heat for penalties and struggles that mess with Patrick Mahomes' pocket time. Falcons fans are hoping for that prime version of Taylor to step up, especially since they snagged him at a steal compared to what the Chiefs owed him.

1:00Next, with McGarry out, Taylor slots right in as a key piece up front, and Atlanta's already looking sharper on the line heading into the new year.
