It’s rare to find any controversy on a football team surrounding its kicker. But that appears to be the case for the San Francisco 49ers, who have a good deal of uncertainty surrounding what will happen with the veteran, franchise-tagged kicker Robbie Gould, between now and the regular season.
Gould, who has yet to sign his franchise tender, likely won’t be around in 2020. And there’s a good chance he won’t show up until training camp and the soonest.
So it made some sense the Niners brought aboard less-known kicker Jonathan Brown on a two-year deal.
