It was reported on Monday afternoon that both tight end Austin Hooper and kicker Nick Folk were signing with the Atlanta Falcons.
Folk spent four seasons with the New England Patriots from 2019 to 2022, while Hooper played with the AFC East club in 2024 and 2025.
The Falcons are reportedly adding yet another former member of the Patriots to their team -- punter Jake Bailey.
"For @PatMcAfeeShow -- Another punter deal: former Dolphins punter Jake Bailey is signing a three-year, $9 million deal that includes $5 million fully guaranteed with the Falcons," ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter posted on X.
New England selected Bailey in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft and he spent his first four seasons with the Patriots.
The Stanford product had the best year of his career in 2020, ranking fourth in the league with a still-career-high 48.7 yards per punt.
Bailey earned First Team All-Pro honors and a Pro Bowl nod during the 2020 campaign.
He signed with the Miami Dolphins in March 2023 and played the last three seasons in South Beach.
