The Buffalo Bills held a workout for two free-agent kickers on Tuesday, Anders Carlson and Cade York, Kam Towle of Bills Wire reports. This according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

This comes directly after kicker Tyler Bass went 1-for-2 in Thursday night’s win over the Dolphins, in which he connected on a 43-yarder but missed badly on a 45-yarder.

The missed kick on Thursday night was nearly the same distance as the miss in the Divisional Round against the Chiefs (44 yards).

Many people are hung up on that one miss in the playoffs that essentially ended the season, but he took a noticeable step back for the totality of the 2023 season.

After making 82.4% of his kicks as a rookie, he hovered around the 87% mark in 2021 and 2022, which is good. But, in 2023 he regressed to 82.8%, and just 4-of-6 in the 40-49 range.

In last year’s wildcard round game against the Steelers, Bass went 1-for-3, including a blocked kick and a miss from only 29 yards out. In the 2023 postseason, he went 2-for-5 in total (40%).

The Bills thinking of competition for Bass makes a lot of sense considering the fact the Bills need consistency from their field goal kicker, especially in the postseason.
