The Washington Commanders have traded for kicker Cade York, hoping he can fill a hole created by an unexpected turn of events in the spring.
The Commanders sent a conditional seventh-round pick to the Cleveland Browns to acquire York, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN. He becomes the third kicker they’ve acquired since having to release veteran Brandon McManus in May.
Cleveland selected York out of LSU in the fourth round of the 2022 draft and he rewarded them immediately with a 58-yard game winning field goal to beat Carolina in his debut. But York struggled thereafter, making 24 of 32 kicks his rookie season. He was 9-for-12 on kicks between 30 and 49 yards.
