Younghoe Koo was released by the Atlanta Falcons on September 19, 2025, after seven seasons with the team. His release followed a noticeable decline in accuracy, including a critical missed 44-yard field goal in the season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which contributed to a 23-20 loss. Despite having a strong track record earlier in his career, including a Pro Bowl selection in 2020 and being one of the league's most reliable kickers, Koo's field goal success rate dropped to 73.5% last season. After his release, the Falcons signed Parker Romo as his replacement, who performed perfectly (5-for-5 field goals) in his debut for the Falcons. Koo expressed gratitude to the Falcons and fans in an Instagram post, stating he was thankful for the opportunity and was excited to continue his career elsewhere in the league.
