Aguayo Joe Barksdale Jersey , Head coach Anthony Lynn finally broke out the field goal unit for the first time in training camp and both kickers put on a middle-of-the-road performance with neither gaining any seperation from the other.Caleb Sturgis made four of his six attempts while both misses came from under 40 yards. Robert Aquayo made five of his six with a long of 50 yards. His lone miss was also from under 40 yards away.As much as the fan base wants a kicker who is automatic from anywhere under 50 yards, those players are few and far in-between with the majority of them locked into long-term contracts across the league.Sturgis has increased his accuracy every year he has been in the league. After converting on 76.5% of his kicks in 2013, he most recently improved to 85.4% percent in 2016. Last year, he converted all three of his attempts before being shutdown for the season after suffering a left hip-flexor tear in the season opener.Aguayo failed to live up to the lofty expectations in Tampa Bay after he was drafted in the second-round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Once one of the most accurate kickers in college football history, Aguayo made just 71% of his kicks as a rookie. Prior to the 2017 regular season Cheap Dan Feeney Jersey , Aguayo was let go after his rookie struggles continued into the preseason of his sophomore campaign. Former NFL executive Eric Grubman had a role in the actual and threatened relocation of multiple franchises. He denies that he’s currently trying, while no longer employed by the league, to move a team back to one of the markets the NFL vacated.Appearing on the Mighty 1090 in San Diego, Grubman denied a report from Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report that Grubman is trying to move a team back to the former home of the Chargers. That echoes Grubman’s quote to Vincent Bonsignore of the L.A. Daily News, saying it’s 鈥渃ompletely and utterly bogus information” having “[z]ero merit.”Freeman didn’t back off despite the denial: “I feel very confident that what I was told was accurate.I also feel very strongly about something else I was told Trevor Williams Jersey ,” Freeman said, adding that Grubman has told people he’s involved in trying to take a team to San Diego. “San Diego is NOT off the market for an NFL team.”San Diego shouldn’t be off the market. It’s a major-league city that simply wasn’t able or willing to finance a new stadium for the Chargers. If the stadium can be privately financed or if the powers-that-be will come up with the funding, San Diego could attract a team from a city where a new stadium is needed and the public money isn’t available.So which teams would be in play? Basically, any that currently need or that soon will need a new stadium, and that don’t believe public money will be available. If Cheap Derwin James Jersey , in the end, ownership will have to pay for its own stadium, building it San Diego may be regarded as preferable to paying for a stadium in the team’s current market.
