49ers Interested In Stephen Gostkowski
6 years agoThe San Francisco 49ers are showing interest in free-agent kicker Stephen Gostkowski despite placing the franchise tag on Robbie Gould this offseason, according to a league source. Gould and Gostkowski rank No. 2 and 3 all time in field-goal accuracy at 87.745 and 87.381 percent, respectively. The 49ers and Gould could be at odds in contract talks after they placed the franchise tag on him. Gould was interested in testing the free-agent waters and wanted to return to the Bears. Gostkowski played his entire 13-year career with the Patriots and has appeared in 200 regular season games and 28 playoff contests. He's a four-time Pro Bowler, two-time All-Pro and three-time Super Bowl champion. He had a bit of a down year in 2018 by his standards, but Gostkowski remains one of the most consistent kickers in the league.
