Some players get worse with age, but not Folk, who arguably had the best year of his career with the Patriots in 2021, despite the fact that it was his 15th season. It would also be shocking if they moved on because the Rams cycled through three kickers since the start of the 2019 season before finding Gay. It would be absolutely shocking if the Rams let him go after a season where he scored the third-most points in the NFL.

Gay was so good during the Rams' Super Bowl winning season that he was actually voted as the Pro Bowl kicker out of the NFC, but obviously, he didn't play in that game since he had a Super Bowl to worry about. In 2021, Gay was one of the most reliable kickers in the NFL, hitting 94.1% of his field goals (32 of 34), which ranked second in the NFL. A big reason the Rams won the Super Bowl in 2021 is because Gay came up clutch for them. Gay was so good during a half-season stint with the Rams in 2020 that they decided to let him stick around in 2021 and the decision paid off big time. This is one decision that should be a no-brainer for Atlanta's front office. Koo has been so good that the Falcons would be crazy not to re-sign him. Koo was also one of just THREE kickers in the NFL in 2021 who hit 90% or more of his field goal attempts and 100% of his extra points (Justin Tucker and Jake Elliott were the others). As a matter of fact, Koo is the ONLY kicker in the NFL who has hit more than 93% of his field goals in EACH of the past two seasons. In 2021, he was the third most accurate kicker in the NFL with a field goal percentage of 93.9%. The Falcons kicker got voted to the Pro Bowl back in 2020 after a season where he hit 37 of 39 field goals, including 8 of 8 from beyond 50 yards. It's not often that a former Pro Bowl kicker hits free agency, but that's what is happening with Koo. (Keep in mind, there's a possibility that this list could change over the next three weeks if any available kicker decides to re-sign with his current team.) Top kickers 1. With that in mind, let's take a look at the kickers who are scheduled to be available this year. When free agency starts, there will be multiple teams that will be trying to figure out their kicking situation and the good news for those teams is that there are a few quality kickers to choose from in free agency this year. The Dolphins ended up missing the playoffs by just one game so if just one of those kicks had gone in, that might have been enough to boot them into the playoffs.Īlthough Sanders is under contract for 2022, the point here is that pretty much every kicker not named Justin Tucker will struggle at times and when those kickers struggle, teams will quickly look to replace them. Not only did Sanders miss eight field goals on the season, but three of those misses came in games that the Dolphins lost by three points or less. In 2021, the Dolphins went into the season with the NFL's reigning All-Pro kicker, but then disaster struck when Jason Sanders hit just 74.2% of his field goals, which was the NFL's fourth-lowest percentage for any kicker who attempted 20 or more field goals. OK, so kickers and punters probably aren't the most important, but you should definitely be paying attention to what's going on in the world of kickers, and that's because a struggling kicker can turn a team's season upside down. For the past two weeks here at, we've taken a look at the top 10 players from each position group heading into free agency and as is our annual tradition around these parts, we've saved the best for last: Kickers and punters.
