Rodrigo Blankenship has been a solid kicker the last two years, being very productive for the Indianapolis Colts. He finished the season with 32 of 37 on-field goal attempts his rookie year, an 86.5 percent clip. He was also 43 of 45 extra points that year, for a stellar 95.6 percent.Good kickers can be hard to come by, so it was fortunate that the Colts found him. He was 11 for 14 on field goals before being sidelined with an injury last year.After just one week in the 2022 NFL season, he finds himself without a job. The Colts tied with the Houston Texans on Sunday, and Blankenship missed a field goal with two minutes remaining.That likely would have been the game-winner, so it's a tough one to miss, but Blankenship nailed the other two field goals he kicked. Still, Indianapolis felt like they needed to move on.Tom Pelissero@TomPelisseroThe #Colts are waiving kicker Rodrigo Blankenship, per source.6323766The #Colts are waiving kicker Rodrigo Blankenship, per source.NFL fans are a bit shocked by this move, as it was only one game and only one kick.David Rodriguez@Daro0621@TomPelissero This is actually so cringe, one bad game and he’s out1311@TomPelissero This is actually so cringe, one bad game and he’s outCade.Frazier@cadeFrazier234@TomPelissero @AroundTheNFL For one week??

Kicking is an important part of the sport, so there aren't likely to be any Pro Bowl kickers just sitting around.It is possible, though, as sometimes a change of scenery can dramatically help a kicker.Current free agents include:Michael BadgleyBrett MaherSam FickenElliott FryMatthew WrightThere's also the possibility of a kicker being found on the practice squad of some team, but the options are slim, so Indianapolis may regret their decision eventually.Where will Rodrigo Blankenship go?After being cut, Blankenship will now focus on finding another team. Many teams would probably look at a new kicker, including the Dallas Cowboys, the Cincinnati Bengals (whose kicker missed several game-winning attempts, including a PAT), the Carolina Panthers, and others.Tampa Bay Buccaneers v Indianapolis ColtsThere is almost no chance that even a semi-decent kicker like Blankenship doesn't get attention, and there's an equally low chance that he's not on a roster by the season's end.Kickers can get hurt, and Blankenship, ironically, is one of the most reliable free agents.
