Myers

Seattle won without scoring a touchdown against the Philip Rivers-led Colts thanks to Myers’ deadly long-range accuracy. Myers in Week 15 continued a season full of clutch kicking with a fourth quarter field goal to take the lead and another one to win the game after the Colts took a late lead with a 60-yard Blake Grupe bomb. Myers has now made 37 of 42 field goal tries this season and should be started in all formats next week against the Rams.

Myers went Goblin Mode for fantasy managers, scoring around 20 fantasy points depending on your league’s scoring. Myers has been solid in 2025, making 28 of his 33 field goal tries. The Seahawks lead the NFL with 2.8 field goal attempts per game through Week 13. Myers is an every-week starter in 12-team leagues for the front-running Hawks.

The Seahawks wasted little time in securing Myers, who was set to hit free agency this offseason. Myers was named to the NFC’s Pro Bowl roster after converting on 34-of-37 field goal attempts this season while making all but one of his 42 extra point attempts. In 2021, Myers converted a career-low 74 percent of his field goal attempts and was thought by many to be a potential cap casualty. Now, after one of the best seasons of his career, it appears he’ll be with the Seahawks well into the foreseeable future. Myers’ deal makes him the second-highest-paid kicker in the NFL behind Baltimore’s Justin Tucker.

Myers posted career lows in 2021, converting 74% of field goals with three missed extra points and a 37% touchback rate. From a cap standpoint, it’s an easy decision for Seattle to move on from a kicker that played at replacement level last season. The Seahawks could use the money saved from Myers toward re-signing free agents Quandre Diggs, D.J. Reed, and Duane Brown.

Myers spent last summer with the Seahawks before being cut in August. He latched on with the Jets and beat out Taylor Bertolet for the job. Myers went on to hit 33-of-36 field goals and 30-of-33 extra points en route to a Pro Bowl selection. His 91.7% success rate on field goals is nearly seven percentage points higher than his career average. Myers will replaces Sebastian Janikowski in Seattle and be paid as one of the league’s premier kickers.

Jason Myers has missed 3-of-4 field goals this preseason. “I think he’s well aware of the situation he’s in,” said coach Doug Marrone. “He has to go out there and perform well and earn the trust of his coaches as well as his teammates.” While Myers’ job is safe for the time being, he can’t afford any more slip-ups.

Josh Lambo was signed to replace him. Myers missed two kicks including a critical one late in the loss to the Rams on Sunday, his third and fourth misses of the young season. Reasonably solid his first two years with Jacksonville, Myers will likely get a shot somewhere else down the line.

The workouts are necessary with Dan Bailey (groin) injured, although the Cowboys have yet to rule him out for this week’s matchup with the Redskins. Myers was let go by the Jaguars last week, Koo opened the season with the Chargers, and Irwin Hill spent time with the Cowboys in training camp.

Myers’ rookie year has gotten off to a rough start. So far he’s missed three field goals, as well as three extra points. Randy Bullock, Billy Cundiff, Kyle Brindza, Zach Hocker and Josh Scobee are all available in free agency.

A third-year UDFA, Myers is a first-year starter. He’s 7-of-10 on field goals, but has shanked two extra points. Flatly, he cost the Jags the game on Sunday. Either way, the Jags’ kicking situation is far from the worst in the league. There isn’t an obvious upgrade on the free agent market.
