The Falcons have plenty of money to chase free agents, but they’ve also prioritized a few of their own. As we’ve expected all along, punter Bradley Pinion is one of those.
The veteran came in and stabilized a shaky position for Atlanta in 2022, quietly turning in a quality season on both kickoffs and as a punter, and he was especially good late last year at pinning opposing offenses deep in their own territory and giving them a long way to go in order to score. For that, the Falcons are rewarding him with a multi-year deal that will make him one of the highest-paid punters in football.
