The longest-tenured Raider in franchise history is not going anywhere. Sebastian Janikowski has “resolved” his “contractual differences” with the team, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (Twitter link) hears. 
Janikowski’s future with the Raiders seemed uncertain this week when the team asked him to take a pay cut and auditioned other kickers. When he was put up against younger competition, the 39-year-old was said to have struggled, thanks in part to back trouble.
We don’t know for certain, but it sounds like Janikowski agreed to a salary reduction in order to keep his place with the team. The Raiders’ concerns about Janikowski’s performance may have merit, but it would have been terrible PR for the team to cut ties with him in the midst of its relocation to Las Vegas.
For his part, Janikowski says he would like to kick for the Raiders through their move to Las Vegas, which could be as late as the 2020 season. First, he’ll have to make it through the 2017 campaign.
