The 49ers selected Moody in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 99th overall.

Third round is early for a kicker, and San Francisco has limited draft capital this year, so using it at this position is an interesting choice. Still, Robbie Gould is gone and San Francisco needed to bring in competition for Zane Gonzalez. Moody was impressive in his time at Michigan, as he converted 87 percent of his field-goal attempts and all 116 of his extra-point tries.

Bass signed a four-year extension worth up to $21 million Thursday, Peter Schrager of FoxSports.com reports.

Bass has spent the first three years of his professional career in Buffalo. He has emerged as one of the league's most accurate kickers in that span, making 88 and 87 percent of his kicks in the last two seasons, respectively. Under the terms of his extension, which keeps with the Bills through the 2027 season, the 26-year-old has been rewarded with at least $12.3 million in guaranteed money.

The Buccaneers have agreed to terms with McLaughlin, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

The 26-year-old is coming off a 2022 season in which he made 30 of 36 field-goal attempts in 16 games with the Colts. With Ryan Succop no longer in Tampa Bay, McLaughlin is slated to top his new team's kicker depth chart, with Jake Verity currently on hand as a depth option.

Gonzalez, who previously appeared set to be released by the Panthers, was instead traded to the 49ers on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Gonzalez missed the majority of the 2022 season with a groin injury. Instead of bringing him back, the Panthers opted to re-sign his replacement, Eddy Pineiro after he drilled 33 of 35 field-goal attempts and 30 of 32 extra-point tries across 17 games. Gonzalez joins a 49ers roster that was previously without a kicker, and it remains to be seen if San Francisco brings any training camp competition to challenge him.

The Panthers are slated to release Gonzalez, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

After missing most of the 2022 season with a groin injury, the Panthers decided to release Gonzalez and re-sign Eddy Pineiro. Pineiro's success in relief of Gonzalez last year likely led to the anticipated release of the 27-year-old kicker, who Rapoport relays is now fully healthy as he seeks a new squad for the 2023 campaign.

Pineiro re-signed with Panthers on a two-year contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

It had been several seasons since Pineiro was a full-time kicker in the NFL, but he had a successful 2022 campaign with the Panthers while making 33 of his 35 field-goal attempts. In particular, he showed excellent accuracy from long range by making 15 of his 16 kicks from more than 40 yards away. He was rewarded with a two-year deal and should be locked into the starting role in Carolina for the foreseeable future.

Patterson signed his contract tender with the Jaguars on Thursday, Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union reports.

Patterson, who had been an exclusive rights free agent, is thus in a position to reprise his role as Jacksonville's kicker in 2023, with James McCourt currently providing depth at the position. In his first year with the Jaguars last season, the 23-year-old Patterson made 30 of his 35 field-goal attempts and 36 of his 37 extra-point tries.

Hopkins (hamstring) is expected to compete with Cameron Dicker for the Chargers' kicking job in 2023, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

A hamstring injury limited Hopkins to five games in 2022, which paved the way for Dicker to close out the season as the team's placekicker. Dicker -- who the Chargers have extended a 2023 contract tender to -- made 19 of his 20 field-goal attempts in a Los Angeles uniform while connecting on all 22 of his extra-point tries. Prior to his injury, Hopkins had hit nine of his 10 field-goal attempts and made all 12 of his extra-point tries. With that in mind, as long as both kickers remain under contract and Hopkins is past his hamstring woes, an offseason job competition looms.

Badgley and the Lions agreed to a contract Friday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

Badgley joined the Lions in early October and was still able to tally 100 points while serving as the placekicker for the team's final 12 games. He'll now return to Detroit for the 2023 campaign, one that many expect to be a leap forward for the Lions after a promising 2022.

The Vikings re-signed Joseph to a one-year contract Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Joseph's deal is worth up to $2.5 million with incentives and will keep the Vikings' often reliable kicker in Minnesota for the 2023 campaign. The 28-year-old finished the 2022 season converting on 26 of his 33 field-goal attempts and 40 of his 46 extra-point tries. Joseph set the NFL record with five game-winning field goals last season.
