Packers Signs Greg Joseph From…
Every team in the NFL has at least one kicker, including the Rams. But after the Green Bay Packers signed Greg Joseph on Tuesday, only one team has a kicker with no experience and who is unlikely to be the Week 1 kicker: The L.A. Rams.
The Packers signed Joseph to a one-year deal, as he joins a kicker named John Parker Romo on the roster. The Rams only have Tanner Brown, last year’s undrafted free agent who lost a kicking competition in camp and is the only kicker from 2023 to survive for a potential competition in 2024.
The only relevant free agent still remaining on the free agent list at Spotrac is veteran Randy Bullock. He went 5-of-6 with the Giants last year.
Among former Rams kickers around the league, you’ve got Greg Zuerlein on the Jets, Lucas Havrisik is one of three kickers on the Browns, and Matt Gay is on the Colts. Recent kicking options like Kai Forbath and Sam Sloman don’t seem to be in the circle of potential additions anymore.
As the draft goes, I believe the Rams will make more than 10 picks and that could include a kicker.
I don’t want to tell you that I know who the best kicker to draft would be because every time I do that, I’m relying on someone else’s opinion because I don’t follow draft kickers. Inevitably when I say “This kicker is the highest rated”, someone will comment that the kicker is being really overrated…and that could very well be true!
