Reports from multiple NFL sources indicate that the San Francisco 49ers will release kicker Jake Moody, ending his two-plus seasons with the team and an absolute disaster of a Week 1 game against the Seahawks.
There's been no official word from the team as of yet, but it certainly appears that Moody's tenure as a Niner is done.
When the 49ers selected Moody out of Michigan in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, the moans and groans began almost immediately. Why, fans wondered, would a team coming off a NFC Championship game run use a draft pick (especially such an early one) on a kicker?
