Todd McClure - C - Falcons

Falcons re-signed C Todd McClure to a one-year contract.

McClure had talks with the Rams immediately after the start of free agency, but otherwise drew little interest in a market overfilled with centers. It's good news for the Falcons, who don't have to commit to a player who turned 35 in February beyond 2012, and retain someone who was still one of the league's better centers in 2011. McClure has spent his entire 13-year career in Atlanta.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the Rams are having talks with free agent C Todd McClure.

The 13-year veteran could be a short-term replacement for the recently released Jason Brown. McClure has spent his entire career with the Falcons, and graded out as the league's sixth-best center by Pro Football Focus last season. He has yet to line up a known visit.

Todd McClure - C - Falcons

According to Pro Football Weekly, the Falcons will be searching for new leadership on their offensive line if they don't re-sign C Todd McClure this offseason.

"Todd has had a great four years since we've been here," head coach Mike Smith said. "I can't speak to Todd in terms of what his thoughts are moving forward, but he's been an integral part of what we've accomplished. He's kind of been the cornerstone for our offensive line the last four years." McClure, 35, is set to become an unrestricted free agent and intends to continue playing. He remains more likely than not to return to the Falcons.

Todd McClure - C - Falcons

Free agent C Todd McClure plans to play a 14th NFL season in 2012.

McClure, turning 35 next month, has never played for a team other than the Falcons. He seems likely to return to Atlanta, though MLB Curtis Lofton, LCB Brent Grimes, and DE John Abraham, and S Thomas DeCoud will be higher on the priority list.

Falcons C Todd McClure (knee) has been declared out for Week 5.

Falcons C Todd McClure left Sunday's game with a knee injury.

He's done for the day, suggesting a possible setback with the knee McClure needed surgically repaired during the preseason. Joe Hawley is next in line, and he's been a big downgrade in performance during previous spot starts.

Falcons C Todd McClure (knee) is active for the first time this season.

The Falcons have had problems pass protecting through two weeks. Perhaps McClure's return will help with adjustments at the line of scrimmage. Inactive for the Falcons: DT Jonathan Babineaux, CB Kelvin Hayden, LB Stephen Nicholas, OG Mike Johnson, CB Darrin Walls, C Brett Romberg, DE Cliff Matthews.

Todd McClure - C - Falcons

Falcons C Todd McClure (knee) has been ruled out for the season opener.

His franchise record of 144 consecutive starts will come to an end. Second-year pro Joe Hawley, who "hasn't looked great" in preseason action, is expected to draw the start against the Bears. It's not great news for Michael Turner, as McClure's strength is run blocking.

Todd McClure - C - Falcons

Falcons C Todd McClure is out indefinitely after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Monday.

Coach Mike Smith described the surgery as a "minor procedure," but McClure's status for Opening Day is now in question. The 34-year-old graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 5 run-blocking center last season. Joe Hawley is McClure's backup at center and may be in line for some early-year spot starts.

The Falcons have reportedly been "heavily scouting" this year's class of draft-eligible centers.

We do know they've hosted or held private workouts with Maurkice Pouncey (Florida), Matt Tennant (Boston College), and J.D. Walton (Baylor). Incumbent C Todd McClure hasn't missed a start since 2001, but turned 33 in February. Pouncey could be on the Falcons' radar at the No. 19 overall pick.
