SEATTLE -- Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn has been patient enough.
It's time for Lynn to cut ties with Caleb Sturgis.
The Chargers signed Sturgis in the offseason to a two-year, $4.5 million contract that included $2.25 million guaranteed, with the hope that he would be the Bolts' long-term solution at kicker.
Sturgis won a kicking competition with Roberto Aguayo in training camp but has been inconsistent and injury-prone all season.
The 29-year-old kicker's latest regression is the most troubling. On Sunday, Sturgis missed two extra points and a 42-yard field goal attempt, hooking all three kicks wide left.
