"The Atlanta Falcons are on their third kicker of the 2025 campaign. Per NFL insider Mike Garafolo, the team has brought on kicker Zane Gonzalez. The veteran spent part of 2024 with the Washington Commanders, hitting 5 of 7 field goal tries and all 19 extra point attempts, but had previously not kicked in an NFL game since 2021. The corresponding move is, inevitably, Atlanta cutting ties with Parker Romo."
"Gonzalez, 30, has hit exactly 80% of his field goal tries and 95.4% of his extra points for his career. His early career was defined by misses, but things stabilized after he ended up with the Arizona Cardinals in 2018, where he hit 81.8% of his field goals and was quite sharp on his rare tries from 50-plus. Gonzalez can also handle kickoffs in a pinch, something he has plenty of experience doing, but is not a high-end kicker overall."
Atlanta signed veteran Zane Gonzalez as its third kicker of the 2025 season and released Parker Romo. Gonzalez played part of 2024 with the Washington Commanders, making 5 of 7 field goals and all 19 extra points, and had not appeared in an NFL game since 2021 prior to that. His career rates are 80% on field goals and 95.4% on extra points, with improved stability after joining the Arizona Cardinals in 2018 and competency on long attempts. Gonzalez can handle kickoffs when needed but is not considered a top-tier kicker. The Falcons moved on from Koo and Romo after high-profile misses that cost games.
