The Atlanta Falcons have signed kicker Matt Bryant to a four-year contract.

The 10-year veteran made 28 of 31 field-goal attempts last season, including three game-winning kicks. He joined the Falcons late in the 2009 season after Jason Elam was released.

Atlanta also announced that three restricted free agents - Pro Bowl returner Eric Weems, backup defensive tackle Vance Walker and third-string quarterback John Parker Wilson - signed their one-year tenders.

The Falcons are still waiting on another Pro Bowler, cornerback Brent Grimes, to sign his tender.
