The Atlanta Falcons announced Monday they have agreed to a three-year extension with kicker Matt Bryant.
Bryant had been scheduled to become a free agent on March 14, when the new league year officially begins.
Bryant, who will be 43 going into the 2018 season, told ESPN he has "a few more good years'' left based on his performance over the last two seasons. He made 34 of 39 field goals (87.2 percent) in 2017 and 34 of 37 field goals (91.9 percent) during the Atlanta Falcons' run to the Super Bowl in 2016.
