Falcons sign kicker Lenny Krieg to three-year deal

The Atlanta Falcons have made significant roster adjustments by signing former Houston Texans tight end Teagan Quitoriano and German-born kicker Lenny Krieg. Quitoriano, who joins as a depth option at tight end after the team did not re-sign veteran Ross Dwelley, had a modest career in Houston with only nine catches in three seasons. Meanwhile, Krieg impressed at the NFL Combine, converting all 14 field goals attempted, which led to a three-year contract with the Falcons as they seek competition for their incumbent kicker Younghoe Koo. Koo struggled last season, converting only 73.5% of his attempts, prompting the Falcons to seek alternatives. The decision to sign Krieg fulfills general manager Terry Fontenot's promise to bolster competition at all positions. The potential competition between Koo and Krieg could significantly impact the team's kicking game in the upcoming season.
