[1] [6] He was the starting middle linebacker in his final season.

[14] [19] [20] He was released by the Cardinals on August 17, 1981, which ultimately ended his NFL career, with McIntyre having appeared in 24 games, five as a starter. [2] [10]
In October 1982, McIntyre signed with the Arizona Wranglers of the United States Football League (USFL); his rights had previously been owned by the Tampa Bay Bandits but the Wranglers made a trade to acquire them.

McIntyre became a coach and personal trainer after his playing career. [24] He had a son, Drew, who played for the United States national junior American football team. [6] In 2023, McIntyre took part in a study for a program promoting heart health; he took an echocardiogram "as a formality to be able to encourage others", but it was discovered he had an enlarged aorta and he underwent surgery. [24] He said that taking the test saved his life: "I had my workout ready, and the doc told me if I would've done that, my heart would've exploded, with no symptoms." [24]
