The Las Vegas Raiders have an outstanding young kicker in Daniel Carlson, and they should look to sign him to a long-term deal.
During the 2018 NFL season, the then-Oakland Raiders signed Daniel Carlson early on in the year, as he was released by the Minnesota Vikings in September. The move was a bit shocking, as while he was struggling, he was also a rookie, and had actually been a fifth-round pick of the team that year.
