Otherwise, this seems ill advised. About to be released. Injury History. Mediocre career history.
Seems like you could get similar as an UDFA this year.
Better be Camp fodder that carries no penalty draftwise if Cut prior to certain date (Final Cut day)

Probably swapping a 6th for a 7th in 2025.

I can't figure out why we're also so injured annually. LOL

The truth is the Niners don't want to pay alot money to a kicker. And really they shouldn't.

From Gould to this dude = erect to limp and swapping spit with a hobo

I agree unless this guy can increase his touchback percentage from 62% to 70 or 80% I don't want him. I know that seems highly unlikely but we should have high standards for our kickers. It could mean the difference between getting home-field advantage and winning a playoff game or even the Super Bowl.

I'm not paying $6M for Robbie. This doesn't mean anything as far as who's the starting kicker imo. Swapped a pick meh whatever

Im guessing he's veteran competition for some rookies.

Conditional late round pick swap does seemingly suggest that he will have to earn the job.

I already miss the days when getting to the 40 meant we at least have a guaranteed 3 points.

I can't believe everyone is having a coronary over a swap of a 6th or 7th round pick in 2025. This team gets alot of comp picks every year and your worried about a late pick that usually doesn't even
make the team. Look how many comp picks were getting this year and next, all these players aren't making the team and a few may get a shot on the practice squad. Even if he doesn't work out no big deal, they'll find a kicker. This was probably a favor request from our new DC. 🏆

Doesn't this guy have a super strong leg or am I mixing him up with someone?

Yeah, Robbie was taking up like 5M or so on the cap - they don't want to spend like that anymore. That's what it seems like to me
