Robbie Gould Requests Trade
6 years agoSan Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould, who received the franchise tag, said he has pulled the contract proposals he sent to the team and told the club he will not negotiate or sign a long-term deal and wants to be traded. If he reports at all, it will not be before the team's regular season opener. The 36-year-old wants to be closer to his family in Chicago after spending 11 seasons with the Bears. The Niners, however, want and expect Gould to be with them in 2019. The veteran kicker made 33 of his 34 field goals (97.1 percent), including nine of 10 from 40-plus yards, in 2018. Despite his age, he remains a solid fantasy kicker, but it remains to be seen if he'll be kicking in the bay area this year.
