Saints sign kicker Daniel Carlson amid competition struggles

The New Orleans Saints have decided to sign kicker Daniel Carlson, aiming to bolster their kicking game following an unsatisfactory competition this summer. Current kickers Tanner Brown and Charlie Smyth have struggled, with Brown missing a field goal in a recent loss to the Rams. Carlson joins from the Raiders, where he excelled over the past eight seasons. The Saints' decision comes as both Brown and Smyth faced challenges in performance during the preseason.
