Robbie Gould might not be coming back to Chicago after all. On Monday, the Bears acquired kicker Eddy Pineiro from the Raiders, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). The deal will net the Raiders a 2021 seventh-round pick, provided that Pineiro is on Chicago’s active roster for five games.
After last weekend’s rookie minicamp, the Bears trimmed their kickers down from four to two. Now, they have three kickers to audition in Pineiro, Elliott Fry, and Chris Blewitt.
Pineiro, who joined the Raiders as a UDFA out of Florida last year, has yet to kick in a regular season game. In the preseason last year, he made all three of his field goal tries, plus his lone XP attempt.
Super Bowl
Lmao!
A kicker hasn’t been NFL mvp since 1983. I think this year might be the year to break that streak.
Meh… basically another tryout candidate. IF he sticks on the active roster for 5 games the Raiders get a 2021 7th rounder. Basically no risk, the Bears took a flier as opposed to waiting for the Raiders to release him and have to compete with other teams for his services.
No downside to this move it only cost a 7th rounder in 2 years if he sticks. If not nothing lost as they say ( no harm no foul )
they can have Dustin Hopkins sorry ass
Bet they would love him too. He really isn’t bad.
good reliable kicker . sad he’s not with his holder anymore tho as raiders have the punter . Pineiro has shown he can kick long fgs and he’s got a leg he could break the fg length record if he acclimates well to the nfl
Bears need not worry, their K won’t be why they finish in 3rd in the North.
Keep telling yourself that.
They may finish 3rd but curious as to who you believe is better?
Bears hate draft picks.
LOL. Seems so.
The Bears have a Kicker candidate named Blewitt. Holy $&@# the headlines will write themselves.
