The New York Giants have not had many placekickers in the past decade. Lawrence Tynes held the job from 2007-2012 and kicked the Giants to two Super Bowls. John Carney spelled Tynes in 2008 after Tynes went down to a knee injury and made the Pro Bowl. Josh Brown took over in 2013 and was released midway through the 2016 season after a history of domestic violence was uncovered. The Giants then brought in veteran Robbie Gould, who finished out the year, but signed with San Francisco in free agency this offseason.
Gould’s expected defection means the Giants will be looking for a new kicker this season.
