Gonzalez spent the 2022 season injured and in 2023 was traded by the Panthers to the San Francisco 49ers for a conditional swap of late-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. He was signed to the Washington Commanders practice squad in November of 2024.

The Atlanta Falcons stayed quiet at the trade deadline, but they announced a few roster moves on Tuesday afternoon. The team has signed offensive lineman Andrew Stueber to the 53-man roster and released kicker Parker Romo. The Falcons also released kicker Ben Sauls from the practice squad and signed long snapper Zach Triner to his place.

According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport, the Falcons will sign Zane Gonzalez, most recently of the Commanders.
