With how talented kickers have become in 2025, it’s easy to get replaced. Hitting field goals from 50 yards or closer at a consistent rate is the new standard in the NFL.
At the end of the 2024 season, the San Francisco 49ers had trouble with their field goal kicker, Jake Moody. These issues carried into the 2025 season, and the team was quick to correct them. On Tuesday, the 49ers waived Jake Moody after three seasons. San Francisco used a third-round pick on Moody in the 2023 draft.
