• Cade York: Cut from practice squad

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  The Saints cut York from the practice squad Thursday. York's presence as a reserve kicker is no longer necessary, with Charlie Smyth on track to be elevated from the practice squad Week 16. Despite having inked a deal with New Orleans' practice squad late November, York ultimately didn't get a chance to debut for the team. He'll search for an opportunity to compete elsewhere in the league.

  York won't be elevated off the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay. York will remain on the practice squad once again, as Charlie Smyth will continue to serve as the team's kicker. York was initially unable to beat out Smyth in the competition for the kicker spot, but he could take over the role going forward if Smyth struggles versus the Buccaneers.

• Saints' Cade York: New kicker in NOLA

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  The Saints signed York to their practice squad Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. After Blake Grupe missed his seventh and eighth field-goal attempts of the season in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Falcons, the Saints elected to bring in York and Justin Tucker for kicker tryouts Monday. York made enough of an impression during his workout to earn a spot on the practice squad, and he'll likely be elevated or signed to the 53-man roster in short order to make his Saints debut Sunday in Miami after New Orleans cut Grupe on Tuesday. Over 18 career games in parts of two seasons with stops in Cleveland, Washington and Cincinnati, York has gone 33-for-45 (73.3 percent) on field-goal tries and owns a career long of 59 yards.

• Bengals' Cade York: Makes all five kicks vs. Pittsburgh

  01/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  York made all four of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday. York missed three kicks over his last three games heading into the Bengals' regular-season finale, but the third-year kicker was flawless in a must-win game. The team's offense went 1-for-4 on red zone drives, which put York in a position to convert on easier kicks, with three of his four field-goal attempts coming from within 40 yards. He served as Cincinnati's placekicker for the final five games of the regular season due to Evan McPherson (groin) going on IR. Over that span, York went 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-15 on extra-point tries. It's unclear whether York or McPherson would handle kicking duties in the wild-card round if the Bengals make the playoffs with a Broncos' loss and a Dolphins' loss or tie.

• Bengals' Cade York: Misses overtime field goal

  12/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  York went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during the Bengals' 30-24 overtime win over the Broncos on Saturday. York converted on a 22-yard chip shot to close out the Bengals' first offensive drive of the second half. He had a chance to win the game for Cincinnati in overtime, but his 33-yard field-goal attempt clanged the left upright. He has missed a field goal in two straight weeks, and in the four games since taking over for Evan McPherson (groin) as the Bengals' kicker, York has gone 5-for-7 on field-goal attempts and 13-for-14 on extra-point tries. McPherson is eligible to be activated off injured reserve for Cincinnati's regular-season finale against Pittsburgh.
