Broncos kicker Matt Prater had his best season as a pro in 2009 and the Broncos made sure he'd be back to kick this year.

Prater, who was an exclusive rights free agent, has signed a deal to return to the team. The Broncos turned the contract into the NFL today.

Prater made 30-of-35 field-goal attempts last season and did not miss an extra point.

Almost as good as your avvy!! :)

Seriously, I'm glad to see this. Hope it wasn't just a one year deal. I'd like to have him around a while. He's got a big leg, with lots of touchbacks, and he can boom the 50+ yard kicks.

I've always felt about him that you could coach accuracy but he has what you can't coach which is leg strength and raw talent.

Here's to Matt continuing to improve his accuracy, confidence and consistency!

Good to hear. It's always nice to have someone who can kick some long field goals and force touchbacks on the regular.

This was one of the quieter story lines this offseason, but a very important one. Glad to see that Prater was rewarded for his hard work. He has one of the better legs in the NFL.

Love this. Prater has been very good for the most part. After Brandon Marshall's game winning TD against Dallas, he booted the kickoff through the uprights. It was pretty bad ass (I was sitting in the stands behind the end zone he was kicking to).

Nice! He was pretty close to "Automatic" last season,
and is almost sure to build on that confidence.

Now Matt, go break 63! :salute:
