[Commanders To Trade For Browns K Cade York, Waive K Riley Patterson]

Known to be on the lookout for a change at the kicker position, the Commanders have a pair of moves in place. Washington is trading for Cade York, sending the Browns a conditional seventh-round pick, SI’s Albert Breer reports.

In a corresponding move, the Commanders have released Riley Patterson. That leaves York as the only kicker on Washington’s roster with the start of the regular season looming. The 2022 Browns draftee connected on 75% of his field goal attempts during his rookie season, suggesting he could remain in place over the long term. Struggles last offseason led Cleveland to bring in Dustin Hopkins as competition, however, and the veteran handled kicking duties in 2023.(Commanders To Trade For Browns K Cade York, Waive K Riley Patterson)

I wouldn’t be surprised he ends up on the practice squad. That’s where Money Badger was half of last season before replacing Patterson. It’s the circle of life.

Patterson and Bates. What an odd couple.

Some kicker’s legs are one; some are the other:

I’d sign him to the practice squad. At least then we’d have some insurance if bates doesn’t work.
