The Falcons have signed 38-year old Jason Elam to a 4-year, $9 million dollar contract.  This was an important signing as the Falcons haven’t had a real kicker in years and it has hurt them a lot at times.  The only concern with Elam is how much loft his kicks will have now that he’s kicking in a neutral elevation instead of in Denver.  Elam played in all 16 games for the Broncos last season and he made 27 of 31 FGs (87.1%) and all 33 of his extra points for 114 points.  Elam has now played in 236 games in his NFL career and he has made 395 of 490 FGs (80.6%) and he also has made 601 of 604 career extra points.  Elam has scored 1,786 points in his NFL career.
