The first big-name cut on deadline day has been reported.

The Green Bay Packers  are going to have a new place-kicker in 2024. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Packers have made the decision to release second-year kicker Anders Carlson a few hours ahead of the NFL’s deadline to trim rosters down from 90 to 53 players.


Carlson’s release is at once shocking and entirely unsurprising. After the team drafted him in the 6th round in 2023, he had a less-than-stellar rookie season, going 27-for-33 on field goals (81.8%) and 34-for-39 on PATs (87.2%). He also missed some important kicks in critical moments, including a 41-yard attempt in the NFC Divisional Playoffs that would have given the Packers a 7-point lead over the San Francisco 49ers .


This offseason, the Packers brought in multiple kickers to push Carlson for the job, most notably veteran Greg Joseph. Both Carlson and Joseph struggled in training camp, with neither one taking a firm hold of the job. Carlson’s release does not necessarily mean that Joseph is going to be the kicker in week one, however, as the Packers could look to the waiver wire or the trade market to find a permanent solution.


All eyes now shift to Joseph, who remains on the roster for the time being along with rookie Alex Hale. Hale is the Packers’ designated International Pathway player, however, and is therefore eligible for an exempt spot on the team’s practice squad. As a result, he is likely to be waived and should land on the practice squad sometime tomorrow.


Keep it tuned to Acme Packing Company for ongoing coverage of the Packers’ roster cuts, which must be finalized by 3:00 PM Central Time.

Dave you nailed it.
Martha did you call this as well? I don't remember.

I didn't think Joseph did enough to merit the job. Hale

Here's a hot take-
What if the Packers cut Carlson, like they did the LS last year, and plan to bring him back after the dust settles? It's not as if they have a game THIS weekend so they have time. They can check the waiver wire and see who else is available. Should they plan to cut Joseph too they still have Hale in the bag.

I'd be happier with this if Joseph was an upgrade. But he's a career 82.6% FG kicker in a dome stadium. His percentage is likelier to go down, not up, kicking at Lambeau Field. And he wasn't a lock on extra points (90%). Carlson was 81.8% on FG and 87% on extra points.

OK. NOW I'm happier...his college kicking percentage was better, he has a strong leg, and he had a good preseason (including hitting a game tying and then game winning kick vs Seattle)...

He could have hit that 59 yarder from another 8-10 yards back...

Packers claim rookie kicker Brayden Narveson off waivers from Titans

The Green Bay Packers found their new kicker to start the 2024 season: Rookie Brayden Narveson. The team claimed Narveson off waivers from the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday.

Greg Joseph is expected to be released in a corresponding roster move.

Narveson went undrafted out of NC State this year. During the preseason, Narveson made 6-of-7 field goals — with his only miss coming from 58 yards — and both extra point attempts. Among his six field goals was a go-ahead 59-yarder and game-winning 46-yarder in the fourth quarter vs. the Seattle Seahawks.

The Packers cut Anders Carlson and kept Joseph on the initial 53-man roster on Tuesday. Narveson will take Joseph’s roster spot.

Neither Carlson nor Joseph did enough to win the job during an uninspiring kicking competition at Packers training camp.

Narveson made a 57-yard field goal during his final season at NC State. He connected on 18 of 23 field goals and all 38 extra point attempts in 2023. Over five seasons at a collegiate career, Narveson made all 196 extra point attempts and 71 of 91 field goals.

Here’s Narveson’s 59-yarder vs. the Seahawks:

Nailed a 58 yarder. He's doing well that Anders Carlson. Missed his first extra point of 2024 season.

Also, I wonder if he would have these same numbers if he was doing it in Green Bay.
