Stephen Gostkowski has been one of the NFL’s most reliable kickers for years, but he wasn’t snatched up right away when he hit the open market back in late March.
In fact, he remains unsigned with no clear interest as of Monday.
Of course, that’s not entirely surprising. He’s 36 years old, coming off a hip injury and teams generally can just bring guys in for training camp and have them battle it out. It’s not like they have to make a move right away.
As such, Gostkowski is hopeful he’ll get an opportunity somewhere during training camp.
“No one is practicing right now, so it’s not like I’m missing competing with someone in OTAs. If things work out like I think they will, I’ll have an opportunity around training camp, whenever the NFL decides that will be,” Gostkowski said to ESPN’s Mike Reiss. “I want to try to find a place where I can have a chance to compete. With the kicker position, there’s usually two, three, four spots that are up in the air, but you just have to find the right place.”
Gostkowski was 7-for-8 on field goals and 11-for-15 on extra points in 2019 before his season ended.
