Former Falcons punter signing with Dolphins in free agency

The Miami Dolphins have agreed to terms with former Atlanta Falcons punter Bradley Pinion, according to a report from NFL insider Mike Garafolo. Pinion, a former fifth-round pick, spent the last four seasons with the Falcons (2022-2025). The 31-year-old specialist has averaged 44.

5 yards per punt over his 11-year NFL career. The Falcons went in a different direction under general manager Ian Cunningham this offseason, signing former Dolphins punter Jake Bailey in free agency. So the two teams essentially switched punters, with Bailey coming to Atlanta, and Pinion taking over in Miami.

"The Dolphins have agreed to terms with veteran punter/kickoff specialist Bradley Pinion, per The Insiders," reported Garafolo . "The two-time Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee heads to Miami on a deal done by his agent Kyle Strongin of Range Sports . " The Falcons also brought in veteran kicker Nick Folk to replace free agent Zane Gonzalez.

Folk was the most accurate kicker in the NFL last season and brings 18 years of experience to Atlanta. Folk and Bailey will lead the Falcons' new-look special teams units under Craig Aukerman. This article originally appeared on Falcons Wire: Atlanta Falcons: Bradley Pinion signing with Dolphins
