Falcons Waive Takkarist McKinley
4 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons waived defensive end Takkarist McKinley on Monday. McKinley didn't play in Week 9 because of an injury and has been a bust for Atlanta after he was taken 26th overall in the first round in the 2017 draft out of UCLA. The 25-year-old has only played in four games this year, tallying eight tackles, seven QB hits and one pass defensed. McKinley was outspoken about his desire to be traded and had a social-media outburst when he wasn't dealt. A change of scenery could be good for McKinley, but he's obviously not a factor in IDP leagues. McKinley has a total of 79 tackles (53 solo), 45 QB hits and 17.5 sacks in his four-year career.
