The Las Vegas Raiders may be in the market to add a rookie kicker.
They have signed veteran Matt Gay, wo has ties to the staff, to replace Daniel Carlson, who had been with the team since 2018.
Still, it wouldn’t be a shock if the Raiders use a late-round draft pick or a prioritize a kicker in undrafted free agency to compete with Gay.

So, that could be fun, seeing a y0ung kicker vying for a spot with the Silver and Black. And this is a really fun one. Circle this name: University Texas San Antonio kicker Jaffer Murphy.
He recently got the NFL scouting community in a tizzy with a pro day performance frankly unseen by a kicker.
The dude is an athlete. Big time.
Murphy put worth a dizzying performance at his pro day as he ran a 4.50 40 and was 12 of 13 on field-goal attempts, including a 70-yarder.
Kickers aren’t supposed to be built like that. Murphy was his school’s kickoff specialist in 2025, so he is raw as a palcekicker.
But there are some things to be excited about and teams from around the league will be closele looking into him after his spectacular pro day
