The Green Bay Packers have claimed K Sam Ficken off of waivers from the Seahawks on Monday, according to Field Yates.
It’s interesting to see the Packers add a kicker. Although, it’s likely Ficken will serve as the team’s camp kicker to go along with veteran Mason Crosby.
Ficken, 25, wound up signing on with the Jaguars in 2016 as an undrafted free agent out of Penn State. He lasted just over a month in Jacksonville before he was waived during the first round of roster cuts.
After a brief stint with the Chiefs, Ficken joined the Rams towards the end of last season after Greg Zuerlein suffered a season-ending injury. Los Angeles brought Ficken back on an exclusive rights contract, but he was waived coming out of the preseason.
The Seahawks signed Ficken to a futures contract back in January before placing him on waivers last week.
In 2018, Ficken has appeared in two games for the Rams and converted 1 of 3 field goal attempts and all 10 of his extra point tries.
