Cut by Dallas
McKinley was released by the Cowboys on Friday, Dallas writer Patrik Walker reports.
ANALYSIS
McKinley signed a one-year deal with Dallas in March, but he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere ahead of the 2023 campaign. The linebacker appeared in four games with the Rams last season, recording one tackle while playing 21 snaps between the defensive unit and special teams.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Another tryout
McKinley worked out with the Cardinals on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
ANALYSIS
McKinley has been on a few visits in the last week, also working out with the Cowboys on Saturday. He spent the 2021 season in Cleveland, racking up 18 total tackles with 2.5 sacks. McKinley would likely fill a rotational role along the defensive line, regardless of where he ultimately signs.

The UCLA product appeared on his way to a prolific career after posting six sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery as a rookie, but a lingering shoulder injury and overall floundering production in two seasons since resulted in Atlanta passing on
McKinley's fifth-year option. He accounted for only 3.5 sacks across 14 appearances during 2019, while his skills in defending the ground game remained far from elite. He has never registered 30 tackles in a season despite playing nearly 1,200 defensive snaps the past two years, leaving the Falcons to wonder if he's enough of a difference maker to command a
lucrative long-term deal. If there's sign of a potential breakout campaign, it's that McKinley generated 13 QB hits last year and only came down with 3.5 sacks. Should he prove capable of
closing more opportunities in 2020, he may find himself possessing excellent leverage.
