The Atlanta Falcons made a surprising signing this week: they added a kicker.
Don’t they already have two healthy kickers?
Yes, the team has a seemingly healthy Matt Bryant and David Marvin. Bryant had been coming back from an injury, but there have been no suggestions he aggravated any injury. The Falcons gave him a $2 million signing bonus on a three-year deal this offseason, so it seems very unlikely he gets cut.
So what’s the deal?
The statement says the Falcons do indeed have three kickers on the roster, suggesting no one will be released immediately.
