If Fry or Pineiro don’t pan out, then Chicago GM Ryan Pace could have a fall back plan. Stay tuned to WCG for further kicking developments...<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="xEYbxl">Aug 11, 2019, 11:00am CT - You guys only need one guess as to which NFC North team Adam Schefter is reporting to have called the Baltimore Ravens about kicker Kaare Vedvik. The Norwegian born 25-year old is obviously on the trade block and the Chicago Bears have an obvious need to upgrade their placekicking situation. While Schefter isn’t naming the specific teams, it doesn’t take a crystal ball to see that one of those teams is the Bears. The Detroit Lions are set at kicker with Matt Prater, and while the Green Bay Packers have a mini-competition at kicker right now with veteran Mason Crosby vs. Sam Ficken, I think they’re going to stick with Crosby unless he really takes a turn for the worse in preseason. So that leaves the Bears and the Vikings as the logical NFC North teams that Schefter is referring to. Minnesota only has Dan Bailey in camp right now Womens Sherrick McManis Jersey , but he had a worse percentage of field goals made in 2018 than Cody Parkey did. The Vikes have been rumored to be on the market for a kicker all offseason. Current Chicago kickers Elliott Fry and Eddy Pineiro are both having a decent offseason, but neither has wowed anyone.With at least four teams inquiring about Vedvik there’s no way the Bears would be able to send a conditional seventh rounder to Baltimore like they did when acquiring Pineiro from the Raiders. I would imagine the Ravens will start negations as high as a fourth round pick then go from there.Since they have one of the best kickers in the game today in Justin Tucker, the Ravens will trade Vedvik, it’s just a matter of when and to which team.

Actually, there are probably multiple notable missing players as OTAs are voluntary and veterans tend to prepare away from team HQ. OTAs are primarily workouts that are regulated and limited by the CBA. It helps some players get back into the groove, but it is possible some stay away to prepare more than allowed at OTAs.The notable player, for the second year in a row, is Julio Jones. Per D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Charles Leno Jersey , Jones did not report to Flowery Branch on Monday. Also of interest is Ledbetter noting that Jones was “promised” a new deal this offseason. First, Jones skipped at least some OTAs in 2018 and 2017, and he was still consistently dominant on a week-to-week basis. Jones eventually missed out on a few days of mandatory minicamp last offseason, but was never out of shape or otherwise struggled with his playbook. In fact, it is common for veteran, Pro Bowl-quality players to consistently skip OTAs and workout elsewhere.Second, we have heard the team informed Julio they planned to get an extension done this offseason, but “promised” is a strong word . Still, it is becoming frustrating to see the Falcons express optimism about contract extensions that continue to linger. Grady Jarrett should have been extended before free agency http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-joel-iyiegbuniwe-jersey , if not last season. The Falcons have been confident a deal will be worked out, and two months ago a bad rumor suggested the team was “closing in” on a deal that has still yet to materialize.For whatever reason, we have another offseason of contract extensions dragging far longer than they should. It is still early enough but Julio’s absence suggests they are not “closing in” on a deal. The Falcons may have again hurt themselves by allowing another market-setting deal go through when Antonio Brown netted nearly $30 million guaranteed across three years, with a total of potential cash just above $50 million.Odds are a deal gets worked out and this situation is quickly forgotten. At the same time, an unnecessary holdout could create a giant headache for the mostly new coaching staff needing to get this team to the playoffs.
