Nick Rose will be the fourth man to take his turn in 2017 after the team released Travis Coons on Monday. Coons had arguably been the Chargers’ best kicker this season.
The strange odyssey started prior to the season when the Chargers chose to go with undrafted rookie Younghoe Koo over Josh Lambo. Koo went on to miss half of his six field-goal attempts and a costly miss against the Miami Dolphins cost him his job. Meanwhile, Lambo was later picked up by the Jacksonville Jaguars where he has enjoyed a solid season with one of the league’s best teams, making 17 of 18 of his field goals and 19 of his 20 extra-point attempts.
