Mason Crosby signed as Giants’ fourth kicker of season

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The New York Giants signed veteran kicker Mason Crosby on Friday as the team placed Cade York on injured reserve with a quad injury.

York is the third kicker to be placed on IR by the Giants this season, joining Graham Gano (knee surgery) and Randy Bullock, who injured his hamstring in last week’s loss to the New Orleans Saints.

In steps the 39-year-old Crosby. Green Bay’s all-time leading scorer with 1,918 regular-season points since being drafted in 2007, Crosby was not re-signed by the Packers after last season. He spent Dec. 6-12 on the Los Angeles Rams’ practice squad.

Crosby is 11th on the NFL’s all-time scoring list and has made 395 career field goals.

He will be active for Monday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and Crosby’s first field-goal attempt will mark the first time in franchise history in which the Giants have used four different kickers in a single season.

The Giants began the season with Gano, who missed 6 of 17 field-goal attempts as he dealt with the knee issue that eventually required surgery. Bullock took over for the next six games before suffering his hamstring injury on a kickoff following a 56-yard field goal against the Saints.

The Giants had planned to turn to York for the final three games of the season, but he left Thursday’s practice with the quad injury.

The New York Giants added Randy Bullock to the active roster and signed fellow kicker Cade York to the practice squad on Friday.

Bullock will handle the kicking duties for the fourth straight game on Sunday when the Giants (3-8) host the New England Patriots.

The 33-year-old veteran originally signed with New York on Nov. 3 after Graham Gano had to undergo knee surgery. Bullock has made both field goals and all six extra points he has attempted with the Giants.

York, 22, was a fourth-round pick by Cleveland in 2022. He made 24 of 32 field goals and 35 of 37 PATs in 17 games with the Browns last season.

The New York Giants added kickers Randy Bullock and Cade York to the practice squad with Graham Gano facing season-ending knee surgery.

Head coach Brian Daboll confirmed Friday that Gano, 36, will be placed on injured reserve.

“Yeah, he’ll have surgery upcoming here, so he’ll go on IR,” Daboll said.

Gano reportedly had been trying to play through the injury for multiple weeks before missing two field goals in last Sunday’s 13-10 overtime loss to the New York Jets, including a 35-yarder in the final minute of regulation.

Gano made only 11 of 17 field-goal attempts in eight games this season.

Over 14 seasons with Washington (2019-11), Carolina (2012-18) and New York, Gano has converted 83.7 percent of his field goals (324 of 387) and 95.3 percent of his extra points (384 of 403).

Bullock, 33, worked out for the Giants after Thursday’s practice. York, 22, was signed off the Tennessee Titans’ practice squad.

“We’re going to have two of them out here today and we’re going to kick and do our normal stuff, and then we’ll make a decision,” Daboll said.

Bullock, who played in one game for the Giants in 2016, spent last season with the Titans and made 17 of 20 field goals and all 28 PATs in 15 games.

York was a fourth-round draft pick by Cleveland in 2022 and played in all 17 games for the Browns as a rookie. He made 24 of 32 field goals with a long of 58 yards and made 35 of 37 PATs.

The Giants (2-6) visit the Las Vegas Raiders (3-5) on Sunday.

Carolina Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson agreed to terms on a three-year contract on Saturday.

Financial terms were not disclosed by the team, however NFL Network reported it was a $35.1 million deal.

Jackson, 26, recorded 61 tackles, two interceptions and one forced fumble in 12 games (all starts) last season. He missed the final five games due to a groin injury.

Jackson has 209 tackles, 12 interceptions and one sack in 55 career games (51 starts) since being selected by the Panthers in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Eagles released Cox on Thursday in hopes of re-signing the six-time Pro Bowl selection to a reworked deal. Multiple reports said the two sides agreed on a $14 million deal.

Cox, 31, had 35 tackles and 3.5 sacks last season. He recorded 443 tackles, 142 quarterback hits, 58 sacks, 14 forced fumbles and 12 fumble recoveries, and has scored three touchdowns in 156 career games (150 starts).

–Atlanta Falcons hybrid offensive threat Cordarrelle Patterson agreed to terms on a contract, NFL Network reported.

Terms were not disclosed in the deal for the wide receiver-turned-running back, who enjoyed a breakout season in 2021.

Patterson, 31, recorded career-high totals in carries (153), rushing yards (618), rushing touchdowns (six), receiving yards (548) and receiving touchdowns (five). His 52 catches matched his career-high total, set in 2016 with the Minnesota Vikings.

Patterson has collected 1,635 rushing yards, 2,635 receiving yards and 37 touchdowns (14 rushing, 15 receiving, eight special teams) in 143 career games with the Vikings, then-Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears and Falcons. He was selected by Minnesota with the 29th overall pick of the 2013 NFL Draft.

The Tennessean reported Bullock is signing a two-year contract.

Bullock, 32, signed with the Titans last September after an injury to Sam Ficken. He hit 26 of 31 field goal attempts with a long of 51, and also converted 42 of 45 field extra-point tries.

Three of his field goals were game winners.

The Titans are Bullock’s sixth team. A fifth-round draft pick in 2012 by Houston, he also has spent time with the Texans, New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals, New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers.

In 123 career games, he has made 83.3 percent of his field goal tries (194 of 233) and 95.2 percent of extra points (194 of 233).

Originally a sixth-round draft pick in 2014, Gilbert has appeared in eight games through his career with Carolina, Cleveland, Dallas and Washington. He’s 0-2 as a starter and has completed 43 of 75 pass attempts for 477 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

He is 29-35 as a starter with six NFL teams since 2013, passing for 14,876 yards with 78 TDs and 48 interceptions.
