Gould began his career as an undrafted free agent out of Penn State and was signed by the Chicago Bears in 2005. He spent the next 11 seasons with Chicago, making 85.4% of his 323 field-goal attempts and 99% of his extra points, earning a first-team All-Pro selection and Pro Bowl nod in his second year in 2006. Gould spent one year with the New York Giants ...

Since Robbie Gould went undrafted in the 2005 NFL Draft, he has been one of the most dominant kickers in the league. The 2023 season will mark Gould's 19th year in the NFL. He played 11 seasons with the Chicago Bears, six with the San Francisco 49ers, and one with the New York Giants.Gould has spent the last six years delivering big kicks in San Francisco. However, the 49ers let him walk in free agency this offseason after the team was unwilling to sign the 40-year-old veteran to a long-term ...

Free-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 ...

The 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 ...

The San Francisco 49ers selected Michigan kicker Jake Moody with the No. 99 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Moody will replace veteran Robbie Gould as the team's primary kicker, who parted ways with the team this offseason. The 23-year-old was terrific in 2022, converting 87 percent of his field-goal attempts. Moody made 29 field goals (a single-season record), including 10 from 40-plus yards, and was a perfect 60-of-60 in extra-point tries. The Michigan product was named the team's Specialist of ...

Impending 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 ...

San 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...

After 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 ...

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould made all four field goals he attempted and one extra point in the Niners' 19-12 Divisional Round victory over the Dallas Cowboys. With eight field goals in two games, he is far and away the postseason leader, ahead of Bengals kicker Evan McPherson and four others who have made three. Not only was he responsible for most of the 49ers scoring, Gould also helped tackle Cowboys return man KaVontae Turpin to prevent a touchdown in the fourth quarter. He ...

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould is a quality starter in the Divisional Round against the Dallas Cowboys. With the Niners having scored over 30 points in each of the past four games, Gould has made a field goal in all of those and multiple field goals in three of them. The 40-year-old has also made 98.0% of the extra-points he has attempted, the highest percentage of any kicker who made the playoffs, while he tied Cowboys kicker Brett Maher for second in the NFL with 50 extra-points ...
