Not  doubting he has the leg for it, just the groin. Hopefully he has healed up and strengthened up the muscle where it wont become an issue this year. Practicing indoors and kicking isnt like kicking outdoors at Soldiers Field

 I just saw a video of Piniero making an 80 yard field goal at a 2017 Florida Gator's practice.

I heard of it. So why did the Raidahs part with him? Any ideas? Advanced knowledge? Medical data from his doctor?

Happy with his replacement who now has a year of NFL experience?

Did he have a whole year? Or did he start the season then went caput and on IR? I think its the latter.

His replacement was Daniel Carlson. The Raiders like Carlson. Carlson made 16 of 17 field goals and all extra points. Long of 50 yards. (VJ noted this)

Carlson was drafted by the Queens (noted before here by I Dave23) in the 5th round in 2018. He played 2 games with the Queens and was 1 for 4 on kicks before getting cut. Raiders picked him up.

Piniero could be a good pick up. unknown quantuty.

I read somewhere that Paniero only kicked in the preseason last year, but the Raiders were planning on him being their kicker.

Raiders are more than happy with Carlson. That's why Piniero was expendable.

Dude has a leg...

Good. I would take a chance on him. As long as he goes to Soldier Field and practices A LOT under all different kinds of conditions.

It's easy to kick in Florida.

In 2017 in College Piniero made 17 of 18 field goals.
In 2016 21 of 24.

It's summer.  The bad weather is gone in Chicago until November

Bears signed backup ILB/STer Kevin Pierre-Louis - Nagy knows about him from his KC days.

Some competition for  Kwiatkoski and Iggy.

Is there a limit on the number of players you can have in training camp?

I believe 90 is it.
