Takkarist McKinley On The Trade Block
4 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons have had trade talks surrounding defensive end Takkarist McKinley, and other teams think the former first-round pick will be traded before next Tuesday's deadline, according to sources. The Falcons will hold McKinley out of the Thursday night game against Carolina so that his lingering groin injury can heal. No deal is imminent, however, but that's led to more speculation that he'll be dealt this week. The 24-year-old has missed two games and played only 23 snaps last week against the Lions. Atlanta did not pick up his fifth-year option. In the midst of a lost season this year, the Falcons are looking to move on and acquire some draft-pick compensation. Perhaps a change of scenery will get McKinley going.
