"Agnew joined as a legitimately interesting returner, a one-time All-Pro and one-time Pro Bowler who averaged 10.3 yards per punt return and 26.1 yards per kick return as recently as 2023. We knew health would be an issue for him, but as an occasionally useful gadget player on offense with a track record of quality work on special teams-he has six combined career touchdowns on returns!-Agnew seemed likely to help with the team's return woes."
"Instead, Agnew's 2025 will go down as a disaster. His 7.6 yards per punt return and 24.7 yards per kick return are both the third-worst single season averages of his career; he's 54th in the NFL in kick return average and only seven players have averaged few punt return yards. In addition, Agnew has had costly miscues that range from merely frustrating (slipping on a return) to catastrophic (muffing a punt near his own end zone)."
Jamal Agnew was cut by the Falcons after struggling as their returner in 2025 and making costly miscues. His punt and kick return averages this season ranked among the worst of his career, leaving Atlanta with one of the league's poorest return games. The Falcons promoted veteran cornerback CJ Henderson from the practice squad to the active roster. Atlanta placed KhaDarel Hodge on injured reserve and signed safety and special teamer Jammie Robinson. Chris Blair and Khalid Kareem were elevated from the practice squad for Sunday. Special teams turnover and injuries prompted multiple roster moves.
