According to CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones, the 49ers are releasing kicker Jake Moody after two-plus seasons with the franchise. Moody missed two field goals in Sunday&#8217;s season-opening win against the Seattle Seahawks. The third-year kicker missed a 27-yard field goal in the second quarter, while also having a 36-yard field goal blocked late in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers kicker did connect on a 32-yard field goal in the third quarter to tie the game at 10-10.<\/p>\n<p>Moody was originally selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft and was the first kicker off the board in that draft. During his two-plus seasons with San Francisco, the Michigan product has connected on 74.2% of his field goal attempts (46-of-62), including making 21 of 25 field goal tries during his rookie campaign in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Moody struggled quite a bit throughout the 2024 season as he only was successful on 24 of 34 attempts. He was 14-of-14 on field goals that came from under 40 yards, but missed 10 of his 20 tries from 40-plus yards.<\/p>\n<p>According to NFL Media, the 49ers are working out former Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pi\u00f1eiro, who made 88.9% of his kicks in 49 games played over the last three seasons. 49ers special teams coordinator Brant Boyer has worked with Pi\u00f1eiro before during their time together with the New York Jets in 2021. Pi\u00f1eiro also kicked 16 games with the Chicago Bears\u00a0in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>For four other kickers the 49ers could look at to replace Moody, click here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moody had connected on 74.2% of his field goal attempts after being selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":90585,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-90584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
