The Chargers traded kicker Dustin Hopkins to the Browns in exchange for a 2025 seventh-round pick on Monday.
Hopkins was competing with Cameron Dicker for the Chargers’ kicking job, but now he is headed to Cleveland, where he’s set to take over for Cade York, who the Browns cut today.
A hamstring injury limited Hopkins to five games in 2022, which led to the emergence of Dicker, who closed out the season as the team’s kicker.
Signed in Week 7 of the 2021 season, Hopkins converted 27 of 30 field-goal attempts, including a game-winner against the Broncos last year in Week 6.
Dicker, who now takes the helm at kicker, made 19 of his 20 field-goal attempts while connecting on all 22 extra-point tries in 2022.
