Former Atlanta Falcons placekicker Matt Bryant is currently an unrestricted free agent. As a result, the veteran special teamer will be forced to find his next NFL home this offseason while a reunion with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers remains possible.
“They are definitely an option,” Bryant recently said, via Vance McClure of ESPN, regarding the Buccaneers. “I could definitely [see myself] going back there to play. Wherever I go is the best-case scenario. Keith knows me, and I know him. We've worked together. There's a strong familiarity.
“I mean, there are all kind of things that go into this. Yes, I played there before. I still have a house there. But the bottom line is, it takes two. They might not still want me there. The teams that interest me are the teams that want me.”
Bryant believes he still has more left in the tank, hence the speculation surrounding Tampa Bay, where he spent four seasons between 2005-06 and 2008-09. Bryant, who went from the Buccaneers to the Falcons en route to staying in the NFC South, has also spent time with the New York Giants, Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins along the way.
“I can still hit from 57 yards; I can still make the game-winning kick,” Bryant added. “I can still do this and do that — not because I say so, but because I've proven it.”
Bryant was notably released by the Falcons after the conclusion of the 2018-19 season while originally arriving in Atlanta all the way back in 2009-10.
