RYAN SANTOSO
Jaguars Waive Ryan Santoso, Set to Claim Ex-Los Angeles Charger James McCourt The Jaguars are making a change at kicker before they go to Atlanta.
Waived by Jacksonville The Jaguars waived Santoso on Tuesday, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Impact Santoso was slated to be the Jaguars' No. 1 place picker after the team waived Elliott Fry (undisclosed) with an injury designation. However, it appears the job is now wide open as Jacksonville currently has zero place kickers on their roster, though that'll likely change quickly. Santoso made four appearances last year -- three with Detroit and one with Carolina -- and went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts but just 6-for-8 on extra-point tries. However, the soon-to-be 27 year-old will have to look for a new NFL opportunity heading into the 2022 campaign.

Slated for No. 1 role sans Fry Santoso is in line to be the Jaguars' top place kicker after the team waived Elliott Fry (undisclosed) with an injury designation Monday, John Shipley of Sports Illustrated reports...
Impact Santoso is the lone kicker remaining on the Jaguars depth chart after the team waived Andrew Mevis at the end of July and Fry on Monday. Santoso made four appearances last year -- three with Detroit and one with Carolina -- and went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts but 6-for-8 on extra-point tries. It's likely Jacksonville brings in more competition for Santoso before the start of the regular season, but for now, he appears to be the Week 1 starter.

In mix for starting job Santoso will compete with Andrew Mevis in training camp for Jacksonville's kicking job, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Santoso appeared to be brought in as competition for Matthew Wright when he signed with the Jaguars in late March, but Wright has since been cut after kicking in 14 games last year. Santoso appeared in four games between the Lions and Panthers in 2021 and went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 6-for-8 on PATs.

Waived by Detroit Santoso was waived from the Lions' practice squad Tuesday.
Impact With Austin Seibert (hip) on injured reserve, Santoso was promoted to the active roster for Week 10. The 24-year-old missed a PAT that would've likely ended the game in regulation, and he missed a potential game-winning 48-yard field goal in overtime. His release made room for the Lions to add Riley Patterson to the active roster, and Aldrick Rosas to the practice squad.

Miscues lead to tie game Santoso made one of two field-goal attempts and one of two PATs during Sunday's 16-16 tie with Pittsburgh.
Impact With Austin Seibert (hip) on injured reserve, Santoso was promoted from the practice squad and it was ultimately a day to forget for the soon-to-be 25-year-old. Not only was his missed PAT likely the reason the game wasn't settled during regulation, Santoso went on to miss a potential game-winning 48-yarder in overtime. While Seibert will miss at least the next two games on IR, it's not clear that Santoso will be kept around for Detroit's Week 11 matchup with Cleveland.

Impact Santoso converted from 22 yards on his first regular-season kick as a Panther, but he then went wide left on his first extra-point try. The recent addition fortunately responded by making his next couple kicks, including a 29-yard field goal, but after Carolina already cut ties with Joey Slye following an inconsistent preseason, Santoso will surely aim to eliminate any more simple mistakes going forward.

Kicking change: Panthers keep Santoso, release slumping Slye

Wins job over Slye The Panthers are going with Santoso as their kicker, waiving Joey Slye on Saturday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Impact Acquired in a trade with the Giants on Thursday, the 26-year-old Santoso made each of his five kicks in Friday's preseason win over the Steelers. He could lose the job in a hurry if he struggles, but he'll at least get the chance heading into a favorable Week 1 matchup with the Jets.
AUGUST 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Likely wins job Santoso made both his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Friday night's 34-9 preseason win over the Steelers.
Impact Santoso, who was acquired by the Panthers earlier in the week, took full advantage of his opportunity to kick ahead of inconsistent incumbent Joey Slye. The former Giant started by banging a 52-yarder in off the right upright, then ended by converting a 27-yard field goal. In contrast, Slye missed a 49-yarder before making an extra point later on. Following that display, it'd now be surprising if Santoso doesn't take Slye's job ahead of the Week 1 matchup against the Jets.
