Falcons to re-sign P Bradley Pinion, FB Keith Smith

Pinion is inking a three-year pact worth $8.65M, putting him in the top-eight of the highest-paid punters. The deal includes $4.325M in guaranteed money, with Pinion taking home $3.5M of that guaranteed money in 2023.

Pinion was the only punter selected during the 2015 draft, going in the fifth round to the 49ers. He spent four years in San Francisco before a three-year stint with the Buccaneers that saw him earn a Super Bowl ring. 

He spent this past season with the Falcons, where he recorded a career-high 45.9 average yards per punt.

Smith has spent the past four seasons in Atlanta, collecting four tackles while appearing in more than 1,000 special teams snaps. 

Smith has also had a minor role as a blocker on offense, and he’s even had some brief cameos in the receiving game. In four years with the Falcons, the 30-year-old has collected 22 receptions.
