Defensive tackle Terrell McClain, who had only 17 tackles and two sacks in 12 games with Washington last season, signed with the Atlanta Falcons on Friday.
Free agent defensive tackle Terrell McClain signed with the Atlanta Falcons, the team announced on Friday, after he also visited the Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins recently. Terms of the deal were not announced. The 6-foot-2, 302-pound McClain is expected to provide depth and experience along the interior of Atlanta's defensive line, joining Grady Jarrett, rookie Deadrin Senat, Garrison Smith and other defensive tackles on the Falcons' roster. The 29-year-old McClain signed a four-year, $21 million contract with the Washington Redskins last season, but made only 17 tackles and two sacks in 12 games last season. He missed four consecutive games late in the season because of a toe injury. The Redskins released him on April 30. McClain was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He also played for the New England Patriots and Houston Texans before stints with the Cowboys and Redskins.
