Who is the 49ers' kicker? Why San Francisco replaced 3rd-round pick Jake Moody with Eddy Pineiro

The San Francisco 49ers have a new kicker.

It was never supposed to work like this after they drafted Jake Moody in the third round in 2023.

But this week, the 49ers cut him.

Moody was waived following the biggest kicking rut of his life. He had made just 12 of his last 23 field goal attempts. In Week 1, he missed a 27-yarder, then had a 36-yarder blocked.

Ravens wanted to draft Shedeur Sanders, but he told them no

As a rookie in 2023, Moody had made 84% of his field goals.

So now the 49ers have a new face doing the kicking duties.
