New York Jets PK Anders Carlson was released Wednesday, June 18.
| Footballguys view: Carlson, a 2023 sixth-round pick with the Packers, kicked in five games for the Jets and went 8-for-10 on field goals. His release comes after the team signed Harrison Mevis, widely known as the â€"Thiccer Kicker.†Kicking was one of the many problems that plagued the Jets' 2024 campaign, with the club continuously rotating at the position as far into the year as January. A 6-foot, 242-pound kicker out of Missouri -- where he earned his infamous nickname -- Mevis made 20 of 21 attempts during the 2025 UFL season with the Birmingham Stallions. |

Indianapolis Colts PK Spencer Shrader, who was signed shortly before the team released PK Matt Gay, is set to battle undrafted free-agent PK Maddox Trujillo for the kicking duties in the preseason, but the job is Shrader's to lose, in the opinion of The Athletic's James Boyd. Shrader went 5-for-5 while splitting time with the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs last season.
| Footballguys view: As an undrafted rookie in 2024 who began his NFL career with the Colts before making two other stops last season, Shrader is still an inexperienced player, with only nine career extra point attempts and five career field goal attempts -- all of which he has made. We'll watch for more on this competition. |

Link to story Ravens | Justin Tucker done in Baltimore? Mon Apr 28, 12:42 AM
Baltimore Ravens PK Justin Tucker is facing an 'uncertain' future with the Ravens following the selection of PK Tyler Loop in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The team is unaware of the timetable for the investigation of Tucker, who has been accused of sexual misconduct, and has publicly stated they will wait for the investigation to conclude before making a decision. Per ESPN's Jamison Hensley, it's still unclear whether Loop will compete with Tucker for the job, or if the 'expectation' is for Loop to be Baltimore's kicker in 2025.
| Footballguys view: Known for one of the strongest legs in this draft, Loop has converted six of nine attempts from 50-plus yards, including making a 62-yarder last season. At the NFL scouting combine, Loop hit 13 of 14 field goal attempts (93.3 percent) and finished by making a 60-yarder. Tucker, 35, is a seven-time Pro Bowl kicker, but he is coming off the worst season of his 13-year career. He missed 10 total kicks last season. Nobody should be drafting Tucker without resolution here. |

Giants | Mason Crosby retires Tue Feb 4, 11:49 AM
New York Giants PK Mason Crosby announced his retirement Tuesday, Feb. 4.
| Footballguys view: "My 17 seasons in the NFL surpassed all of my childhood hopes and dreams," Crosby wrote on social media. He played 16 of those seasons with the Packers, where he became the franchise's all-time leading scorer. His 1,939 points are 11th in NFL history. His records are more than secure. His 1,918 points with the Packers are 864 more than Ryan Longwell's 1,054 in second place. His 395 field goals with the Packers top the franchise mark as well. Longwell's 169 is a distant second. Crosby's last season for the Packers was in 2022. After the season, the team moved in a different direction at kicker. Crosby, 40, wasn't ready to call it quits, however. He finished his career with the New York Giants late in the 2023 season. He didn't play in 2024. |
