As the Atlanta Falcons prepare for the start of NFL free agency on March 11, they have needs to address on both sides of the ball. However, the team has a talented foundation in place and will mostly be looking to add depth behind a few key positions.
The Falcons have one of the better offensive lines in the league, featuring five quality starters and arguably the game’s best right guard in Chris Lindstrom. While the team won’t be looking for starters, it never hurts to have depth in the trenches.
Last season, right tackle Kaleb McGary missed the entire season due to a knee injury. This opened things up for swing tackle Elijah Wilkinson, who started all 17 games in 2025. Wilkinson is a free agent and will likely land a deal elsewhere.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at seven potential offensive line targets for the Falcons in the 2026 NFL free agency period.
1). C Ethan PocicAge: 302025 stats: 13 startsExpert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.
Pocic played under Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski for the last four seasons in Cleveland. While the veteran center has plenty of starting experience, he suffered an Achilles injury late in the season which will likely restrict him to a bench role in 2026. Atlanta needs a quality backup center, and Pocic would be an ideal fit to add depth behind starter Ryan Neuzil. The 30-year-old has 97 career starts under his belt.
2). G Wyatt TellerAge: 312025 stats: 13 starts
Next up, we have another veteran Browns offensive lineman in guard Wyatt Teller. The three-time Pro Bowler’s best days are likely behind him. Teller will not be returning to the Browns in 2026, however, he may still be looking to start elsewhere. Like Pocic, Teller also ended the season on the injured reserve list after appearing in 13 games. Depending on the offensive line market, perhaps the 31-year-old would be willing to take a one-year deal in Atlanta as a backup while he gets fully healthy.
3). OL Cade MaysAge: 262025 stats: 14 games (12 starts)
Mays is one of the younger players on our list, but he has yet to establish himself as a clear-cut NFL starter. He did a decent job last season in Carolina and his versatility makes him an intriguing option for any team looking to add offensive line depth. Mays is a solid pass-blocker but has a long way to go as a run-blocker. At just 26, though, he has plenty of upside and we wouldn’t be surprised if a more desperate team signs Mays to start next season.
4). OT George FantAge: 332025 stats: 4 games played (0 starts)
Fant would be an ideal replacement for swing tackle replacement for Elijah Wilkinson in free agency. The 33-year-old won’t have a big market this year after appearing in just four games last season. Fant has 75 starts under his belt and has played both left tackle and right tackle over his nine NFL seasons. Signing Fant to a one-year deal would be a cost-effective way to add more offensive line depth in 2026.
5). OT Kendall LammAge: 332025 stats: 13 games played (0 starts)
Lamm is a career backup with versatility to play both tackle positions. The 33-year-old spent the last four seasons as a swing tackle in Miami. In terms of backup options, Lamm would make a lot of sense as someone who could replace Wilkinson. Over his 11 NFL seasons, Lamm has appeared in 132 games with 44 starts. The veteran offensive lineman has started 15 total games over the last three years for the Dolphins.
6). OL Dillon RadunzAge: 272025 stats: 15 games played (10 starts)
Radunz is another experienced veteran with enough versatility to play multiple positions. The former second-round pick has yet to establish himself as a quality starter over his first five NFL seasons, but he has 41 career starts. Radunz would have a ton of value as someone who can play tackle and guard. The 27-year-old may be just out of the Falcons’ price range, though.
7). OT Justin SkuleAge: 292025 stats: 16 games played (9 starts)
Skule is fringe starter who would be better suited as a versatile swing tackle. Last season, he made nine starts for the Minnesota Vikings. Skule’s pass protection has been an issue, but when you’re targeting backups, every player is going to have their weak spots. Nonetheless, Skule has started 26 games for the Vikings, Buccaneers and 49ers since entering the league in 2019.
