Possible Solution To Our Kicking Problem?

The Raiders have asked K Sebastian Janikowski to rework his contract, but Janikowski has declined.

Janikowski is set to earn a base salary of $4.05 million in the final year of his deal, and it becomes guaranteed on Saturday if he's still on the roster. It explains why the Raiders hosted free agent Ks Josh Lambo, Mike Nugent, and Marshall Koehn on Monday. Janikowski is by far the longest-tenured Raiders player and turned 39 this year. He's been in Oakland since 2000. Sep 4 - 8:22 PM

Would be a huge immediate upgrade if they cut him and we signed him but it of course wouldn't solve our problem in the long run. If he's cut, sign him, trade both Gano and Butker for the first offer that comes along and bring Armah back to the roster or add a safety. Boom, we're back on track.

Nice thought--could happen.  Wasn't George Blanda the kicker before SJ took over?

Sebastian Janikowski aka linebacker who plays kicker, he can kick and lay the wood.

The solution (we hope) is Butker.

 

Seabass is being cut for more than monetary reasons...dude's back is shot and he's been awful in camp.

Interesting idea but Gano's cap number is almost as high as Janikowski's
