Falcons Cutting K Nick Folk

Atlanta is signing K Jake Moody off the Ravens’ practice squad as the new kicker to replace Folk.

Folk, 42, 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. 

From there, Folk signed a two-year deal with the Falcons before the 2026 season.

In 2026, Folk has appeared in nine games for the Falcons and made 13 of 18 field goal attempts to go along with 17 of 18 extra point tries.
