The Falcons will be bringing a second punter to training camp.
Matthew Hayball signed with the team on Thursday. Hayball tried out for the team during their mandatory minicamp this week.
Hayball handled the punting duties for the Saints during the 2024 season. He averaged 40.4 net yards per kick in 17 games for New Orleans, but was released last August and did not play anywhere else in 2025.
The Falcons signed Jake Bailey as a free agent this offseason and both players are now set to go to camp with the team.
Hayball is Australian and the Falcons received an international player exemption for the signing, so Hayball does not count against their 90-man roster limit.
