Blankenship (undisclosed) is with the Buccaneers for a minicamp tryout this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Blankenship had surgery in January to repair a torn muscle in his leg but now appears ready to go ahead of the 2023 campaign. The kicker was waived by the Colts in September and appeared in three total games with Indianapolis and Arizona in 2022, going 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-5 on PATs.

McLaughlin is the lone kicker remaining on Tampa Bay's roster after the team waived Jake Verity on Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Tampa Bay didn't make a corresponding move with Verity's release, so for the time being, McLaughlin looks set to head into training camp atop the depth chart. However, expect the Buccaneers to bring in another kicker to compete with McLaughlin at some point later in the offseason. Over the last two seasons, McLaughlin has gone 45-for-57 on field-goal tries and 57-for-58 on extra-point attempts.

The Lions acquired Patterson from the Jaguars in exchange for a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick Thursday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.

It was initially reported that Patterson was going to be waived by the Jaguars after they signed Brandon McManus on Thursday, but Detroit swooped in late and kept Patterson from hitting the open market. Patterson went 30-of-35 on field goals last season and 36-of-37 on extra points. He kicked for the Lions in 2021 for seven games, making 13 of 14 field goals in that span.

Patterson was waived by the Jaguars on Thursday.

Patterson handled kicking duties for all 17 Jaguars games last season, making 30 of his 35 field-goal attempts and 36 of his 37 extra-point tries. In a corresponding move, Jacksonville signed former Broncos kicker Brandon McManus. Patterson will now work to find a new opportunity.

The Jaguars signed McManus to a one-year contract Thursday.

McManus was released by the Broncos on Tuesday, but after just two days he finds a new home in Jacksonville. The 31-year-old, who had spent his entire NFL career to date in Denver, converted just 28 of 36 field goals to go with 25 of 27 extra-point attempts during the 2022 season. Though McManus' conversion percentage isn't extraordinary, that's in part due to his high volume of long-distance kicks (13 tries from 50-plus yards last season). He was 10-for-10 on attempts from 40-49 yards out in 2022.

Maher was one of three kickers to work out for the Broncos on Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

The Broncos currently don't have a kicker on their roster after waiving Brandon McManus on Tuesday, prompting the team to bring in Maher, Elliott Fry and Parker White for evaluation. Maher's tenure in Dallas came to a close this offseason after he struggled mightily in the playoffs, but overall, he was solid in 2022 and made 31 of his 34 field-goal attempts across 19 games. Tomasson adds that Maher also underwent a physical Wednesday, and while no deal is imminent, Denver does at least appear interested in bringing in the 33-year-old for an extended look.

The Broncos are releasing McManus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 31-year-old has spent his entire career in Denver, playing 144 of a possible 146 regular-season games over nine years. McManus was scheduled for non-guaranteed base salaries of $3.65 million in 2023 and $3.85 million in 2024, so his release is likely about cap space more than performance. While his career 81.4 percent success rate on FG attempts is subpar by modern standards, McManus has attempted a ton of long-distance kicks due to his strong leg and the altitude in Denver, with tries of 50-plus yards accounting for 26.3 percent of his career volume (and 62.7 percent of his misses). It's unclear who will replace him in Denver, but with teams like the Cowboys and Rams lacking established kicking options, he may not be out of work for long.

Romo agreed to a contract with the Lions on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Romo signed with the Saints last year as an undrafted free agent, but he was let go ahead of the 2022 campaign. The Virginia Tech product impressed enough during a recent stint with the XFL's San Antonio Brahmas to earn an opportunity to compete for a spot on the Lions' Week 1 roster. He'll face an uphill battle to unseat Michael Badgley as Detroit's top placekicker.

Ryland has agreed to terms with the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

The report notes that Ryland's deal is on track to be a four-year $4.626 million pact. Though the Patriots still currently roster veteran Nick Folk, given the team traded up eight spots in order to select the Maryland product in the fourth round (112th overall) of the 2023 NFL Draft, it's expected that New England will move forward this season with Ryland as the franchise's next kicker.

Dunn signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent Monday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

Dunn did not hear his name called during the 2023 Draft but will now join Los Angeles for the start of their offseason program. The Rams did not have a kicker on their roster heading into the draft, but they have now added both Dunn and Tanner Brown who will likely compete for the starting job.
