  • Matthew Wright: Sent back to practice squad

    Wright reverted to Tennessee's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Wright was elevated from the Titans' practice squad ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against Houston with Nick Folk (abdomen) unable to play. Wright made both of his field-goal attempts -- a 35-yarder and a 38-yarder -- in the contest and didn't attempt any extra points. The veteran placekicker also saw action in two games with Kansas City and in one game with San Francisco during the campaign, finishing a collective 15-for-16 on field-goal attempts (his only miss came from 59 yards out) and 6-for-6 on point-after tries. Given his success in all three of his stops this season, Wright could be an appealing option if any playoff team needs to replace its kicker at any point during the postseason.

  • Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Closes out season impressively

    McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 52 and 25 yards and knocked home all three extra-point attempts in the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday. He finished the 2024 regular season having gone 30-for-32 (93.8 percent) on field goals and 54-for-56 on PATs.

    The veteran kicker managed to inch past his previous career-best field-goal accuracy rate of 93.5 percent, which he'd established just last season, with Sunday's perfect tally. McLaughlin did misfire on extra-point tries for the first time since the 2021 season, but he'll enter the postseason as one of the most trusted kickers in the field of 14 teams and remains under contract with the Buccaneers through the 2026 season.

  • Nick Folk K | NYJ

    Titans' Nick Folk: Strong 2024 season

    Folk (abdomen) made 21 of his 22 field-goal attempts and all 25 of his extra-point attempts across 14 games with the Titans in 2024.

    Folk missed Tennessee's final three games, but he had a strong season otherwise. His only missed field goal came in Week 10 when he pushed a 49-yard attempt wide right, and he impressively made all six of his attempts from 50 yards away or further. Though he'll be entering his age-41 season, Folk should receive a contract this offseason -- whether in Tennessee or elsewhere -- after another strong campaign.

  • Giants' Jude McAtamney: Staying with Giants

    The Giants signed McAtamney to a reserve/future contract Monday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    McAtamney signed with the Giants in May of 2024 and was assigned to the exempt/international roster spot. He didn't make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he was retained on the practice squad and ended up being elevated for Week 9 against the Commanders due to abdominal and hamstring injuries to Greg Joseph and Graham Gano, respectively. McAtamney made a 31-yard field goal and his lone extra-point try in his only outing of the regular season, and he'll have the opportunity to earn the Giants' starting kicking job for 2025.

  • Packers' Brandon McManus: Caps off quality campaign

    McManus made three field goals and his lone extra-point attempt in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears.

    McManus made field goals of 37 and 30 yards in the first half, and his 55-yard field goal with under a minute to go in the contest would have proved pivotal had the Bears not hit a field goal of their own at the final buzzer. McManus ends the regular season having made all 30 extra-point tries and all but one of his 21 field-goal attempts over his 11 appearances since joining the Packers in mid-October.

  • Patriots' John Parker Romo: Signs with New England

    The Patriots signed Romo to a reserve/future contract Monday.

    New England signed Romo to its practice squad Dec. 10, and it appears he'll remain with the Patriots after inking a new deal Monday. The 27-year-old filled in for the injured Will Reichard for four games in Minnesota this season, converting on 11 of his 12 field-goal attempts and seven of his eight extra-point tries. Current Pats' kicker Joey Slye made just 79 percent (26 of 33) of his field-goal attempts this season, so Romo could be competing for the team's starting spot in the offseason.

  • Cam Little K | JAC

    Jaguars' Cam Little: Perfect finish to rookie campaign

    Little made all three of his field-goal attempts and both PATs during Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Colts.

    The rookie kicker converted twice from 53 yards as he put the finishing touches on an impressive debut season. Little, who was selected during the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft last April, went 27-for-29 on field goals and was perfect on 27 PATs this season. He should enter training camp with some decent job security given his performance as a rookie.

  • Joshua Karty K | LAR

    Rams' Joshua Karty: Finishes regular season strong

    Karty connected on all four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seahawks.

    It was a strong finish to the regular season for the Rams' rookie kicker, as he hit a season-long 58-yard field goal to close the first half. He opened the second half with another lengthy kick of 57 yards and tacked on a pair of shorter field goals and a PAT to close out a perfect performance. For the season, Karty was 29-for-34 on field goals and 32-for-36 on PAT's, and he'll look to ride the positive momentum of the latter portion of the season into a Wild Card Weekend matchup with the Vikings next Monday night.

  • Dolphins' Jason Sanders: Converts career-high 37 FGs in 2024

    Sanders converted both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries during Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets.

    Sanders ends the 2024 campaign with a 90 percent conversion rate, having gone 37-for-41 on field-goal attempts and 26-for-28 on PATs. The veteran has two years remaining on his deal with the Dolphins. Coach Mike McDaniel's offense will work to bounce back with Tua Tagovailoa (hip) during the 2025 campaign, and better red-zone efficiency could cause Sanders' total number of field-goal opportunities to decline, but to be balanced out by an uptick in PATs. Sanders figures to be in the mix as a fantasy-relevant option at the kicker position for the foreseeable future.

  • Jake Moody K | WAS

    49ers' Jake Moody: Career in SF in jeopardy

    Moody went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts while converting all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 47-24 loss to the Cardinals.

    Moody managed to hit his first field goal from 51 yards out, but he shanked the ensuing 47-yard attempt. The 2023 third-round pick has struggled mightily ever since missing a key PAT in the 49ers' Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs last season. NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco believes it would be a "controversial decision" to keep Moody in house after his bout of inconsistency this season, and its hard to argue against that statement.
