NFL Free Agent Kickers:
-
Justin Tucker, K, Ravens. Age: 26. 
Franchised by Ravens
Justin Tucker is one of the better kickers in the NFL, as he’s incredibly clutch. However, he’s coming off his worst season as a pro, though he was still better than 80 percent.
-
Mason Crosby, K, Packers. Age: 31.
Re-signed with Packers (4 years)
Mason Crosby went 24-of-28 in 2015, including 4-of-5 from 50-plus. He also didn’t miss any extra points, which is a big deal now.
-
Adam Vinatieri, K, Colts. Age: 43.
Re-signed with Colts
The ageless wonder, Adam Vinatieri was 25-of-27 in 2015 despite turning 43 in December. It’d be awesome if Vinatieri somehow kicked until he was 50.
-
Robbie Gould, K, Bears. Age: 34.
Signed with Giants
I don’t understand why the Bears cut Robbie Gould. Sure, he’s 34, but kickers can be effective nearing 40. He was 33-of-39 last year, including 7-of-9 from 50-plus.
-
Phil Dawson, K, 49ers. Age: 41.
Re-signed with 49ers (1 year)
Despite being 40, Phil Dawson missed just one field goal in 2015, and he was a perfect 3-of-3 from 50-plus.
-
Greg Zuerlein, K, Rams. Age: 28.
Re-signed with Rams
Greg Zuerlein has one of the strongest legs in the NFL, but he’s not very accurate. He was just 20-of-30 in 2015.
-
Blair Walsh, K, Vikings. Age: 28.
Blair Walsh was amazing as a rookie, going 10-of-10 from 50-plus. He was even solid for the most part in 2015, going 34-of-39, including 6-of-8 from 50-plus, though he did miss four extra points and lost the playoff game with a whiffed short attempt. Walsh has struggled ever since (12-of-16 in 2015 with four missed extra points). He has kicking talent, but it’s clear that he has lost it mentally. Perhaps he can get it together in the future.
- Cody Parkey, K, Eagles. Age: 24. — Signed with Browns
- Travis Coons, K, Browns. Age: 24.
- Josh Scobee, K, Saints. Age: 34.
- Connor Barth, K, Buccaneers. Age: 31. — Signed with Bears
- Randy Bullock, K, Giants. Age: 26.
- Kai Forbath, K, Saints. Age: 29. — Signed with Vikings
NFL Free Agent Punters:
-
Marquette King, P, Raiders. Age: 27.
Re-signed with Raiders
Marquette King was one of the league’s best punters in 2015. He ranked ninth in net average and finished second in punts placed inside the opposing 20.
-
Bryan Anger, P, Jaguars. Age: 27.
Signed with Buccaneers (1 year)
Incompetent general manager Gene Smith spent a third-round pick on a punter. Yeah, that actually happened. Bryan Anger was that player, and he didn’t even finish in the top 20 of net punting in 2015.
- Brad Nortman, P, Panthers. Age: 26. — Signed with Jaguars (4 years)
- Mike Scifres, P, Chargers. Age: 35. — Signed with Panthers
- Jon Ryan, P, Seahawks. Age: 34. — Re-signed with Seahawks (4 years, $10 million)
- Ryan Quigley, P, Jets. Age: 28.
- Shane Lechler, P, Texans. Age: 40. — Re-signed with Texans
- Drew Butler (RFA), P, Cardinals. Age: 35. — Re-signed with Cardinals (2 years, $2.4 million)
