Falcons Signing K Nick Folk To Two-Year Contract

According to Tom Pelissero, the Falcons are signing K Nick Folk to a two-year contract. 

At 41 years old, the veteran kicker is still going strong and Atlanta hopes he can stabilize a position that became a problem last year. Meanwhile, the Jets need a new kicker now. 

Folk, 41, is a former sixth-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2007. He spent over two years in Dallas before he signed on with the Jets in 2010 as a free agent.

Folk was entering the final year of his four-year, $12 million contract that included $2.1 million guaranteed when the Jets released him in 2017. After a short stint with the Buccaneers, Folk joined the Patriots and was on and off their roster.

The Patriots re-signed Folk but released him coming out of camp and re-signed him to the team’s practice squad. New England promoted him back in prior to Week 1 and he was named their starter. 

New England then re-signed him to a one-year, $1.625 million deal that included a $125,000 signing bonus in 2022. He signed on with the Titans the following season and again in 2024. The Jets inked him to a one-year deal ahead of the 2025 season. 

In 2025, Folk appeared in all 16 games for the Jets and made 28 of 29 field goal tries to go along with all 22 extra point attempts.
