Huh?

Interesting.  Bryant was 20 of 21 last year with a long of 57.  Still one of the best in the league.  Someone will pick him up.

Cant believe the falcons cut their best player named Matt.....

After cutting Bryant, the Falcons are going to draft a kicker in the 1st round.

Any way we could pay what we are paying Gano to Bryant....

Yeahhhhhhhh how about we sign this guy,damn good kicker damn good

Now that's someone the Panthers need to call up. He was solid for Atlanta. Bradberry, Alford, and Jackson in the slot is a legit corner trio

This!

Bryant seriously might be their mvp against us the past several years.  I literally don’t think I’ve EVER seen him miss a kick against us and that cocksucker regularly attempts long 55+ ones.  Especially end of half and end of game ones.

Great news for the whole division honestly... Bryant alone is worth probably about 3-4 wins per season for them.

Amazing man, amazing kicker, ROH Falcon. We were just paying him too much and he got injured on a long kick last year. New Italian guy drilling 50+ yarders made this necessary. 

Alford.....will drive you crazy. Sometimes hes amazing, and then he'll average 2 PIs a game for 3 weeks. Dude never learned to get his head around.

What’s the deal with the cuts lately? Quinn got a different model in mind?

Quinn is calling the defense this year. Matt Ryan runs Atlanta. I do not envy the man.

Why would they do that?....I never saw him miss a kick...ever

He's 43, missed time with a leg injury last year and had to have a heating pad on his back during games to keep loose, his replacement for the missed games was 5 of 5, including 2 from 50+.

Plus his replacement is signed for 645,000, he was due 1.3 mil  as a roster bonus and 2.1 mil as salary.

Sucks, because he's been a great kicker for the falcons for a long time and he may be a good kicker for another few years, but I understand the decision.

Because our dumbass GM signed Graham Gano to a stupid contract, and it would cost us 4.6M in dead cap next year if we cut him...plus whatever cap space it would cost to add Bryant.

Could get some “insider” info on the Falcons ST unit.

One of the best ever to wear a Falcons uniform. Could make an outside case for HOF (easily so if he'd kicked like he did for us in the first half of his career).
