"Bailey has a lot of punting experience, after spending time with the New England Patriots (2019-2022) where he was selected as a First-Team All-Pro in 2020, and time with the Miami Dolphins (2023-2025) where he averaged 47.7 yards per punt, his highest average since that 2020 All-Pro season."
"With the new staff, the team elected to let punter Bradley Pinion walk into free agency, fresh off a season where he had a Falcons' franchise record 34 punts land within the 20-yard line."
"On the first day of free agency, the team has made it a key to establish their new special teams unit, and with Folk and Bailey signed, they've done that just."
The Atlanta Falcons have actively addressed their roster during free agency under their new regime. The team signed veteran kicker Nick Folk and punter Jake Bailey to strengthen their special teams unit. Bailey signed a three-year contract with $5 million fully guaranteed. The Falcons allowed punter Bradley Pinion to enter free agency despite his strong performance, which included a franchise record 34 punts landing within the 20-yard line. Bailey brings extensive experience from his time with the New England Patriots (2019-2022), where he earned First-Team All-Pro honors in 2020, and the Miami Dolphins (2023-2025), where he averaged 47.7 yards per punt. Bailey previously worked with the Falcons' special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman in Miami during 2025.
