Free-agent PK Dan Carpenter (Bills) will work out for the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Jason Myers has been too inconsistent for the team to trust. They might not keep Carpenter if Myers improves, but he is definitely a few steps out on the plank. |

Bills | Dan Carpenter on hot seat? Fri Sep 4, 04:55 AM
Buffalo Bills K Dan Carpenter may be on the bubble for 2015, as he appears to be in head coach Rex Ryan's doghouse entering the season. 'I'm tired of seeing us miss a field goal. We'll certainly be looking. Nobody earns this job by default,' Ryan said.
| Footballguys view: Carpenter was set up for one of the best situations in the league with a good defense and poor offense, but it might be slipping through his fingers... err, toes. He came into the summer hurt and might come out of it without a job. |
