Robbie Gould Only Kicks One Extra Point In Loss
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould made the only extra point he attempted and did not try any field goals in the Niners' 7-31 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game. After two-straight games making four field goals, this was an extremely disappointing game for Gould starters. The 49ers offense was already in for a tough game, but the going got tougher when quarterback Brock Purdy left the game in the first quarter with an elbow injury. No. 4 quarterback Josh Johnson was then taken out and put in concussion protocol. Purdy returned but was severely hampered. Ultimately, the 49ers only gained 164 yards all game and never got into the red zone.

Robbie Gould Wants To Continue Playing
2 years agoFree-agent kicker Robbie Gould would like to continue playing. The 40-year-old has had a lengthy, successful career since entering the league in 2005, suiting up for the Bears, Giants, and most recently, the 49ers. He's made 86.5% of his field goal attempts, although his production has dipped over the years. That said, there's a good chance Gould at least receives a training camp invite. But even if he inks a contract with an NFL club, his fantasy outlook isn't as bright as others at the position.

Cowboys To Look At Robbie Gould, Brett Maher
2 years agoThe Dallas Cowboys entered last week's NFL draft with a plan to take a kicker, but it never materialized. Owner Jerry Jones said the team will look at veterans on the open market, such as Robbie Gould. The Cowboys also won't rule out the potential return of Brett Maher, who set a team record for points in a season in 2022 before missing six extra-point tries in the last three games. The only kicker currently on Dallas' roster is Tristan Vizcaino, who attempted only three field goals last year with the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots. Vizcaino has played in only 10 career games over three NFL seasons, so the Cowboys certainly would like to bring in some more competition at the position.

Robbie Gould Plans To Test Free Agency
2 years agoImpending free-agent kicker Robbie Gould isn't returning to San Francisco, with the 40-year-old informing ESPN's Adam Schefter that he'll "be kicking elsewhere in 2023." Gould already scoffed at retirement rumors in February, so it appears he's in line to suit up for a new team for his 19th year in the National Football League. The veteran, who missed five of his 32 field goal attempts and made 50 of his 51 extra point tries last season, will go down as one of the best at the position when everything is said and done. Assuming Gould finds a new club during the offseason, he's projected to remain a starting fantasy option in 2023-24.

Robbie Gould A Strong Start In NFC Championship
2 years agoAfter kicking four field goals in each of the first two rounds of the playoffs, San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould remains a quality starter in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Philly allows 19.5 points per game on average, which is the sixth-fewest, but only 0.2 points per game fewer than the Dallas Cowboys. The 49ers likely will not score a large number of touchdowns, but if they can move the ball enough to get into field goal range, Gould could have a solid game.
