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 ?

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
