The Falcons land a proven, reliable kicker on a sensible two-year deal — a clear special teams upgrade. Multiple reporters covered the signing, with NFL Network's Pelissero confirming terms during Free Agency Frenzy. The strongest signal is Folk's history of clutch kicks, including a 56-yard game-winner against Atlanta itself. Fans are buzzing about the Jets connection, amused Folk spurned New York to join a contender. Folk stabilizes a kicking position that has haunted Atlanta, and he projects as a Day 1 starter.

This signing grades out as a smart signing for the Atlanta Falcons — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Nick's on-field performance ranks in the top 10% among NFL Ks, grading him as an elite at the position. His $4.5M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the K market. The value equation works strongly in the team's favor — they're getting elite production at below-market cost, which is the kind of financial efficiency that builds roster depth. Nick is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract. The 2-year, $9.0M deal ($4.0M guaranteed, 44%) keeps the commitment short, giving the team financial flexibility to move on if performance drops.
