Atlanta Falcons Part Ways with Kicker Younghoe Koo, Sign Parker Romo

In a bold roster move, the Atlanta Falcons have released longtime kicker Younghoe Koo after seven seasons with the team. Koo, a former Pro Bowler, was let go following a series of underwhelming performances, including a critical missed field goal in their Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers. The Falcons have signed Parker Romo, a recent addition from the practice squad, to a two-year deal after he impressively kicked five field goals in his debut against the Vikings. Romo is now set to be the starting kicker for the upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers. Koo has expressed gratitude for his time with the Falcons, while Romo has quickly acclimated to his new team and won over fans with his strong debut performance.
