Jets' Nick Folk: Will play in 2026
Folk announced he intends to play in 2026, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Folk will return for another NFL season after converting 28 of 29 field-goal attempts and all 22 of his extra-point tries across 16 games with the Jets last year. The 41-year-old is set to become a free agent once the new league year begins and will be one of the top options available at kicker.

Rams' Harrison Mevis: Gets tender from Los Angeles
The Rams tendered Mevis on Monday.
Mevis was lined up to be an exclusive rights free agent, but it's no surprise the Rams decided to tender him, which will prevent him from being able to negotiate with other teams. The undrafted kicker out of Missouri latched on with Los Angeles' practice squad in November last year and eventually earned his way to a role as the team's starting kicker. He debuted Week 10 against San Francisco and finished the regular season having converted 12 of 13 field-goal tries and all 39 of his point-after attempts. Mevis then went 6-for-6 on FG tries and 9-for-9 on PATs in the postseason, all but assuring that he'll enter training camp as the frontrunner for the team's kicking job in 2026.

Brandon Aubrey K | DAL
Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Seeks new contract with Cowboys
The Cowboys have reportedly offered Aubrey a deal for more than Harrison Butker's league-high $6.4 million average per season, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
Per the report, the Cowboys and Aubrey's agent Todd France are in agreement that the 30-year-old should be the highest-paid kicker in the NFL, but the team's reported offer falls short of the $10 million per season that France is said to be seeking. Aubrey is on track to become a restricted free agent next month, with Archer relaying that Cowboys are likely to place the second-round tender (at a cost of close to $5.8 million) on the Notre Dame product, who made 36 of his 42 field-goal attempts during the 2025 regular season en route to racking up a fantasy-friendly 155 points (third among NFL kickers).

Seahawks' Jason Myers: Fantastic showing in Super Bowl
Myers connected on all five field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Myers accounted for the Seahawks' first 12 points of the game, and he finished with 17 total points. The 34-year-old kicker completed a perfect postseason, drilling all eight field-goal attempts and 11 extra-point tries through three playoff games. Myers was dependable during the regular season, too, making 85 percent of his field goals and every extra point. He's heading into the final year of his contract but could be an extension candidate as the Seahawks look to retain their title in 2026.

Seahawks' Jason Myers: Perfect in blowout win
Myers connected on both field-goal attempts and all five extra-point tries in Saturday's 41-6 win over the 49ers in the divisional round.
Myers missed two kicks in the regular-season finale against the 49ers, but he was perfect in the rematch. Overall and including the playoffs, Myers has hit 86 percent of his field-goal tries this season, including nine of 12 attempts from beyond 50 yards. Myers will be outdoors again in the NFC Championship Game regardless of the opponent.

Matt Prater K | BUF
Bills' Matt Prater: Upgrades to full participation
Prater (quad/calf) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Prater was listed as a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough but was able to upgrade to full participation in Wednesday's session. The kicker was questionable to play ahead of last Sunday's playoff win over the Jaguars, but he managed to suit up for the game and put forth a flawless effort. The 41-year-old should be all set to play in Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Broncos, barring any setbacks.

Bills' Matt Prater: Sits out first practice of week
The Bills listed Prater as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to right quadriceps and calf injuries.
The kicker had previously been listed on injury reports with only the quad issue, which kept him from playing in Weeks 16 and 17. Since returning in Week 18, Prater has knocked down both of his field-goal tries and all six of his extra-point attempts, but he's ceded kickoff duties to punter Mitch Wishnowsky in both contests. Even though Prater's calf is now bothering him as well, head coach Sean McDermott said he expects the veteran to kick during Wednesday's practice, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com. If Prater is unable to play in Saturday's divisional-round game in Denver, the Bills will likely call up Matthew Wright from the practice squad to serve as their placekicker.

Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Misses extra point in playoff loss
Elliott made field goals from 41 and 33 yards in Sunday's 23-19 wild-card loss to the 49ers but missed one of his two extra-point attempts.
The missed extra point wound up being significant, as the Eagles drove to the San Francisco 21 on their final possession and would have been in range for a game-tying field-goal attempt had Elliott made all of his earlier kicks. Elliott missed just one of his 42 extra-point tries in the regular season, but he made just 74 percent of his field-goal attempts (20-for-27), his worst performance since 2020.

Packers' Lucas Havrisik: Re-signs with Green Bay
The Packers signed Havrisik to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Havrisik spent time on both Green Bay's practice squad and active roster during the 2025 campaign, converting all four of his field-goal attempts and seven of nine extra-point tries across three games while Brandon McManus was sidelined. Havrisik could have the opportunity to compete for the team's placekicker role during the offseason.
