so news just came out that the Packers have decided to sign another kicker to add to the roster now making it three total kickers in Green Bay with Anders Carlson Jack podlesny and now Greg Joseph came out here from his agent Brett tesler on X who says the Green Bay Packers are signing my client Greg Joseph who kicked for the Minnesota Vikings the past three seasons holds the NFL record for game winners in a season five Vikings record for longest field goal 61 yards and led NFL in Touchback percentage in 2021 had other interests but like this opportunity and then Ian Rapaport says here it's a one-year deal worth up to 1.29 5 million Source said so we all know Anders Carlson struggled last season in his first year with the Packers being a sixth round pick and he was very inconsistent here's the thing with Greg Joseph if you actually compare his stats to Andre Carlson's last year he actually had a lower overall field goal percentage Anders made 80.6% of his field goals which was 25th in the NFL Greg Joseph made 24 of 30 field goals which was 80% which was 27th in the NFL so Joseph and Carlson had a nearly identical field goal percentage if you look at extra points Anders Carlson was 31st in the NFL at 87.2% missing six extra points and Greg Joseph was 21st in the NFL making 94.7% of extra points and he missed two so this move doesn't necessarily indicate that Joseph will be the starter I think it's a cheap deal he is a veteran has been in the league since 2018 spent the last three years with the Vikings but him and Carlson were basically identical as I said last season he had a slightly worse percentage making field goals than Anders Carlson and so while at first when I saw this move I thought this is interesting this is exciting then when I looked into the numbers I realized oh okay they're they were pretty much identical last year and so I think that we're just going to see a competition this next I mean through training camp all that kind of stuff as we lead up to next season and so we'll see who ends up being the most trusted kicker here in Green Bay we had already heard Packers GM Brian gkin say that they he wanted to have some more competition here and the Packers now have more competition at kicker and we'll see who Rises to the top but that is the most recent news if you want more Packers content make sure you turn on the post notifications down below so you never miss any news and I'll see you guys next time
