Sebastian Janikowski is done with the Raiders, but he’s not done playing. The kicker’s agent says he’ll try to catch on with another team after learning that the Raiders will not be bringing him back for 2018.
“He plans on getting another job,” agent Paul Healy tells Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “Unfortunately, he had this back issue. He’s healthy now, and he’s ready to go.”
Janikowski, who turns 40 on March 2, will leave the Raiders as one of the most well-known figures in franchise history. He also has his place in the record books with franchise records of 268 regular season games played and 1,799 points scored. Meanwhile, he has the most field goals from 50+ yards in NFL history with 55.
Janikowski did not see the field in 2017 thanks to a back injury, but his rep says that won’t be an issue for him going forward. You can expect Seabass to draw interest from teams in need of a reliable leg (the Seahawks, perhaps?) this offseason.
Come on down to Chicago sea bass
Agreed!
Define “playing”
Agreed, “playing” could have a different interpretation coming for a 40 year old kicker with a pierced ball bag….
If the Chargers had a reliable kicker last year they make the playoffs. Janikowski could be the guy
Chargers should try and sign him. He beats out everyone they ran out last year.
Takes a real athlete to be able to nail a 50 yard field goal without spilling your scotch or losing any ashes off that stogie.
