Eddy Pineiro, once heralded as the most accurate kicker in the NFL, faced a challenging season with the Carolina Panthers. After a stellar start, he struggled significantly towards the end, missing crucial field goals that could have impacted the Panthers' postseason aspirations. His performance and the Panthers' decision to decline his contract extension last spring have left many speculating about his future with the team. Analysts predict that the Panthers may not re-sign Pineiro, as he ranked poorly among outgoing free agents and only attempted two field goals over 50 yards last season, raising concerns about his leg strength. With his overall accuracy slipping to 84.6% and missed extra points, the team appears unlikely to retain him, looking instead at the abundance of serviceable kickers available in the offseason.
