Flowery Branch, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Atlanta Falcons signed kicker Matt Bryant to a contract extension on Wednesday.

Bryant could have been an unrestricted free agent.

Since joining the Falcons in 2009, Bryant has made 148-of-167 field-goal attempts (88.6 percent). He has become the second-leading scorer in franchise history, with 666 points. He's 140 points shy of Morten Andersen's club record of 806 points.
