The Chargers have decided to open the season with Sturgis after cutting Roberto Aguayo on Saturday, It was a close, tough competition but Aguayo will be in the market for a new team.
Source: the Chargers have waived kicker Roberto Aguayo. Veteran Caleb Sturgis will be their kicker to begin the season.
Sturgis is the player the Chargers gave a two-year contract this offseason, and that could have led to him winning the job. He certainly didn’t do it on the field, at least not in preseason games.
While Aguayo didn’t miss a kick in the preseason, Sturgis missed one in the first game.
