You might be right, I thought he was unsigned 

If he were, I’d cut prayer for him right now.  He’s had a great season.  One miss all season (and it was over 50). Made every xp too

I’ve seen him hawking furniture … looks like he could still hit from 40

[Captain_Quint]

Is McManus really available? I would think he would be a great pickup unless he is hurt or on a team already. Used to kicking in bad weather in Denver.

Norwood looked great in the hallmark movie… it would be fitting for him to kick the last FG in the current stadium

Ok I asked it if any of them played for.  Chris tabor at any point

 

 

Kickers Chris Tabor has definitely coached

 

 

Phil Dawson – Tabor coached Dawson while he was the special teams coordinator for the Cleveland Browns (2011–2017). Dawson made the Pro Bowl in 2012 under Tabor’s unit.

Eddy Piñeiro – Tabor coached Piñeiro both with the Chicago Bears and later with the Carolina Panthers; Piñeiro was a prominent kicker under Tabor’s special teams units.

Zane Gonzalez – Tabor coached Gonzalez early in his career with the Browns and then again later when they were both with the Panthers.

 

Phil Dawson is 50 so I think we can pass there

I'm going to my local HS to work out the leg and send some clips to the bills

Besides a fantasy notification, it's the first I've heard this. What happened?

 

Delete and destroy if BS

He was hoping the game would be moved to Detroit like last time😄

[BlueRed]

I’ll be curious who they get to come in this week. 
 

I’ve always felt with the extended practice squads that teams should use a few of those spots for “specialists”.

Even just from a practice perspective, getting extra punt catches, kickoff coverage practice, and FG block without wearing out your main K/P.

Did he get stepped on by Ed's horse ?

ChatGPT says this is a list of experienced NFL free agent kickers

 

Michael Badgley – 6 NFL seasons of experience. 

Nick Folk – 17 seasons of experience; note: was reported as a free agent earlier in the offseason and suspended for the first 10 weeks of 2025 (eligible to sign/rejoin after reinstatement).

Zane Gonzalez – 7 NFL seasons.

Greg Joseph – 6 seasons; recently signed then became free agent at some points in 2025. 

Brandon McManus – 11 seasons. 

Eddy Piñeiro – 6 seasons. 

Austin Seibert – 4 seasons.

Wasn’t McManus kicking yesterday ? Maybe I misheard the announcer 

[BuffaloBillyG]

I have been to fan message boards with less pages when their starting QB gets hurt. All these pages for a kicker? Bills fans are bored lol

If he made a 40 yard kick, half the commenters would compare his range unfavorably with Brandon Aubrey, to explain why Drake Maye is still the true MVP.

a good kicking game is very important. missing xp and field goals can absolutely cost you a game, or even a season. it is a big deal IMO
