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 ?

    • Such a dumb pick and most of us knew it Ladd would’ve been the perfect match with Bryce But instead they draft XL to fill the void at the X spot because we had a 34 year old Adam Thielen. Then a year later we draft a real X WR and move XL inside where he has absolutely no business being for a list of reasons
    • My logic was hopefully a new HC would have a LOT quicker hook for Bryce. But, that is assuming they would even be allowed. I guess that's a call to the owner's box for permission.
    • I’m not overly defending the pick. I was team Stroud by a country mile but I also knew what to expect as far as ceiling goes with Bryce  I had concerns with Bryce’s arm strength and size. Neither seem to overly be an issue. He’s proven to throw with enough anticipation that he makes up for a lack of velocity. I was worried about the way he played in college not translating to the league. Spending 8 seconds behind LOS. I did also think it would take Young a few years for him to reach his full potential. I also think he’s too smart and accurate to flat out bust which all of seems to be pretty accurate Bryce is someone you can absolutely win with. No one thought he’d be the type to carry a well below average supporting cast to a Super Bowl. He’s fully capable of giving you those 4-5 special plays a game that help your team win. And then you have those rare times where he’s the reason you win like in Atlanta.  All good teams have more than just a QB.  Even the teams that are winning this year all have a lot more than what we have. Supporting cast/defense… more than what we have  As far as Morgan goes I 100% agree. Fwiw he was legit team Bryce during the draft process. I know that for a fact. Last years draft is a complete write off. This past draft still up for debate. TMac and Scourton look solid. I can’t remember the last time I saw Princely win a rep and I’m being honest. Ransom has a little value. I think ETN is a nice insurance add. Evans could be a TE2.    I think this offseason Morgan will get aggressive with trying to land a pass rusher. Whether that’s a trade for Crosby, signing Hendrickson, it’s going to be top priority. We need a ILB. I really like Kaden Ellis. Sonny Styles should be in our draft range. We also need a tight end and it would be interesting to see this offseason with Kenyon Sadiq
