From early on in his career, we’ve felt like Takk McKinley’s talent and effort have not been matched by his production. He has had a habit of driving Falcons fans nuts by liking tweets about the Cowboys trading for him and whatnot, but for all the fire he drew for not putting up elite sack numbers, you could at least count on Takk to be around the quarterback.
That didn’t do much to convince the Falcons they had to keep him around, though. After picking up Vic Beasley’s fifth year option and watching him flail for half a season before picking up steam in the second half and earning a solid one-year pact from the Titans, the Falcons decided not to go that route with Takk.
