When it comes to veteran offensive lineman, Atlanta center Alex Mack is just about as good and consistent as they come.
The soon-to-be 35-year-old center is in his fifth season with the Falcons after spending the first seven years of his 12-year NFL career with the Cleveland Browns. With the exception of the 2014 season, where Mack played in five games for Cleveland, the veteran players has taken the field in every regular season game in his lengthy career.
When it comes to the offensive line, many teams in the league are and will continue to look for pieces to add to their front line leading up to the trade deadline. And for someone who might end up departing Atlanta this offseason either way, the Falcons could aim to move him to another team while getting something in return for his services.
Mack has logged six Pro Bowl selections through his career and would be a player that could be a short term fix for another team with him set to hit the open market as a free agent in 2021.
Mack is about as reliable as it comes on the offensive line, having taken the field for every game he possibly could in a Falcons uniform while getting tagged with a total of just 16 penalties in five seasons in Atlanta.
With Mack’s time in a Falcons uniform likely to come to an end and some younger players ready to take over behind him, Atlanta could look to try and get something in return for one of the more consistent and durable offensive lineman in the NFL that will draw attention from multiple teams.
