The Green Bay Packers made the decision to move on from legendary kicker Mason Crosby last off-season. That move came with criticism and praise from the NFL community. In his place, rookie Anders Carlson was drafted and given the starting job.
In 2023, Carlson ranked 29th in extra point percentage and 23rd in field goal percentage. Many have speulated that his 2023 performance opened up the possibility of a replacement kicker being brought this off-season to take over. Today, a huge name surfaced for that possibility.
Green Bay Packers Kicker Anders Carlson Could Be Replaced After Recent News
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero:
Veteran kicker Nick Folk, who leads the NFL in field-goal percentage over the past four seasons, is expected to test the free-agent market, per source.
Folk made 29 of 30 FG attempts in 2023 with Tennessee.
Would The Packers Move On From Anders Carlson After Just One Season?
Kicker Anders Carlson was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the sixth round of the 2023 National Football League Draft.
As long as Carlson is available, the Packers will likely hold on to him for a few seasons in the hopes of finding their next long-term kicker. Mason Crosby became the starter for the Packers during the 2007 season. It wasn’t until 2011 that he made more than 80% of his field goals.
The Packers have a history of giving their kickers time to find their groove in this league.
