The eight-year veteran had 17 tackles and a sack in 13 games last season for the Atlanta Falcons. McClain had 20 tackles and two sacks in 12 games in 2017 for the Washington Redskins. The 6-foot-2, 302-pound defender was a third round pick by the Carolina Panthers in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Carolina cut McClain in 2012, before he was picked up by the New England Patriots. McClain had a short stint with the Houston Texans before joining the Dallas Cowboys in 2014. He signed a one-year deal with the Redskins before the 2017 season. He signed a one-year, $4 million pact with the Falcons last off-season.

McClain has 126 tackles, 12 tackles for a loss, 7.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 87 career games since being drafted out of South Florida.
