Here’s some not so good news. Philadelphia Eagles kicker Caleb Sturgis suffered a quad strain in his plant leg (though Les Bowen reports it’s hip flexor) and is expected to be out for “several” weeks, per NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Rapoport notes that the Eagles will try out free agent kickers this week.

Since the injury is only for a few weeks, I seriously doubt they would be willing to part with anything meaningful for either of our kickers. If it was a season ender then we might have a chance but they will most likely just go with someone off the street until Sturgis returns.

No one is giving up compensation and/or paying for Gano.  Robbie Gould had attempted less kicks in that stadium than Gano and also made it look easy from 44.

Giorgio Tavecchio was 4/4 with a long of 52 and 2/2 XP yesterday filling in for Janikowski in Nashville.

Having 2 kickers, one of them Gano, especially for his price-was, is, and will continue to be-ludicrous.

If Telavecchio keeps it up, Janikowski is getting cut. That guy looked GREAT yesterday. Now we know why they had the leverage to force Janikowski to take a pay cut.

did we even have an official offer for one of the kickers? I find it crazy that we wouldn't get rid of Gano since we are all about the cap managing now whats the point of trading him? Just hope Butker stubs his toe so he can go to ir thats the best hope now...

You remember who returned as our GM, right ?

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
