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 ?

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      generally speaking, going by the original NFL international marketing rights announcement... we would expect to host a Germany home game once every four years.  Doesn't mean we would play internationally only then, just the guarantee home game situation things might have changed since then, if they figure out how to play at more stadiums during a season to expand the number of "home" teams available

      Munich won't happen. It's a Lions home game in Munich, but we play the Lions at home at BOA Most likely to happen would be Madrid vs the Falcons (although KC has been pushing hard for this one). From a schedule perspective, it would be interesting to have an early November Madrid game (then the bye week), then close out the season at BOA for the 2nd game vs the falcons.  In other words, put the two division games in the 2nd half of the season Paris vs the Saints has long been rumored to be the Browns (but... never say never) We wouldn't play Munich, Melbourne, Mexico City, London, or Rio based on who those announced home teams happen to be

      Moton's knees were an issue before last season. He will be 32 before the season starts and gets 14.2M in '26 and 21.5M for '27 (not guaranteed). LT Icky and Rasheed Walker are signed through '26 and Freeling through '30 (option); LG Lewis signed through '28, C Fortner through '26 and Hecht through '29; RG Hunt through '28, RG Moton through '27.  They did a good job shoring up that oline.  We can have a starting oline of: LT Freeiling, LG Lewis, C Hecht, RG Hunt, and RT Moton pretty much locked up through the '27 season (will just take a Moton option to do). That's good because we need to be ready to pull the trigger with next year's QB class.
