Saints' Daniel Carlson: Catches on with New Orleans
Carlson agreed to a contract with the Saints on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
A two-time All-Pro selection with the Raiders, Carlson will add a more battled-tested option to a Saints kicker competition that includes incumbent Charlie Smyth and Tanner Brown. The 31-year-old Carlson had been unsigned since May, and even after a down year with Las Vegas in 2025, he's still converted his field-goal attempts at a stellar 86.9 percent clip through his first eight NFL seasons.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Boots Raiders to Week 18 win
Carlson made all four of his field-goal attempts and didn't try an extra point in Sunday's 14-12 victory over Kansas City. He finished the 2025-26 campaign having gone 22-of-27 on FG attempts and 21-for-22 on PAT tries.
There were no touchdowns in Sunday's plodding season finale -- both Carlson and KC kicker Harrison Butker made four field goals, and the winning margin came by way of a Las Vegas safety. Carlson was able to show off his leg strength on the game-winning FG from 60 yards out with less than 10 seconds remaining, and he also booted a 55-yarder earlier in the fourth quarter. The Raiders scored the fewest points in the league this season, thus limiting Carlson's opportunities, and his 81 percent success rate on FG tries was his lowest mark since 2019 (and represented the fifth straight season his conversion rate has dropped). Carlson is slated to become an unrestricted free agent, and while he figures to be a starting kicker in the NFL next season, it's not certain that he'll be back with Las Vegas.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes pair of kicks in loss
Carlson made his lone field-goal attempt and only PAT in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Giants.
Carlson's field goal was good from 42 yards. Kicking in Las Vegas' anemic offense, Carlson has made just 18 of 23 field-goal tries and 21 of 22 PATs across 16 games this season. The tanking Raiders again figure to try hard to lose in Week 18 to the Chiefs.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes three PATs vs. Houston
Carlson converted all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Texans.
The Auburn product has now gone without a field-goal attempt in three of Las Vegas' last four games. On the season, Carlson has made 17 of 22 field-goal tries and 20 of 21 point-after attempts through 15 contests. His next opportunity to score will likely come in the Week 17 matchup against the Giants.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: No kicks in Week 15
Carlson did not attempt a field goal or a PAT in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Eagles.
Carlson has now gone without a field-goal try for the second time in three weeks while making one or zero field goals in seven of the last eight games overall. The kicker has limited upside while operating with a struggling Las Vegas offense, and he hasn't necessarily done himself any favors this season, going 17-for-22 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, over 14 contests so far.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Makes his kicks Sunday
Carlson went 1-of-1 on field-goal tries and 2-of-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.
The kicker hit a meaningless 46-yarder as time expired in the fourth quarter. Carlson was perfect for the second week in a row and the third time in four games, but he's just not getting a lot of opportunities in one of the league's worst offenses. The eighth-year pro has attempted just 18 extra points in 13 games this season.

Carlson went without a field-goal try for the second time this season and first time since Week 7. The kicker has now been limited to one or zero field-goal attempts in four of the last six contests overall. Carlson will look to get back on track in a tough matchup against Denver in Week 14.

Carlson missed his first field-goal attempt the day, pushing a 48-yard try wide left in the second quarter. The kicker was then able to convert a 41-yard field goal on the team's following possession. Carlson has now gone 16-for-21 on field-goal tries, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making 13 of 14 extra-point attempts over 11 contests this year.

Carlson converted all three of his field-goal tries and his lone extra-point attempt in Monday's 33-16 loss to the Cowboys.
Carlson kept the Raiders somewhat competitive early on with three first-half field goals, including a long conversion of 45 yards. He then added a point-after attempt on the Raiders' lone touchdown early in the fourth quarter. The three made field goals tied a season high for Carlson, who has gone 15-for-19 on those attempts in 2025.

Carlson had a chance to tie the game with 4:30 left in the fourth quarter, but he missed his 48-yard field-goal try wide right, leaving the Raiders trailing by a 10-7 margin. The kicker finished without a field goal make for the second time in the last three contests as a result. Carlson has now gone 12-for-16 on field-goal attempts, including 3-for-6 from 50-plus yards, while making 11 of 12 PATs over nine games this year.

Raiders' Daniel Carlson: Doesn't get an attempt Sunday
Carlson did not attempt a field goal or extra point in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Chiefs.
The Raiders finished with just 95 yards of total offense on 30 plays and 17:52 of possession time. Carlson has gone 11-of-14 on field-goal tries and 8-of-8 on extra-point attempts in 2025, though his opportunities are limited by the Raiders' offensive struggles.
