The Cleveland Browns have more kicker transactions as they have re-signed Lucas Havrisik.
This signing comes after the Browns traded York to the Washington Commanders in exchange for a conditional seventh round pick on Thursday. York has been perfect this preseason after returning to the Browns looking to get his game corrected entering year three. He earned the right to kick somewhere else.
This left the Browns with the need for a kicker for the preseason finale as Dustin Hopkins likely rests again. The Browns also love to have a kicker on the practice squad, and with York gone to Washington, that role needs to be filled. Look for Havrisik to be the practice squad kicker for the Browns once again in 2024.
Havrisik has bounced around the league in between his stops on the Browns’ practice squad. This includes a stint on the 53-man roster of the Los Angeles Rams a year ago. In that nine-game stint, Havrisik connected on 75 percent (15-of-20) of his kicks and 86 percent (19-of-22) of his extra points. Havrisik was 2-of-3 on kicks beyond 50 yards but struggled with his midrange game, hitting just 2-of-6 with the Rams a year ago.
The Browns now have some insurance, however, in case the newly extended Hopkins suffers another hamstring injury again in 2024.
