# Brendon Nelson: Nelson expects Seattle to stick with Jason Myers as their kicker rather than replacing him, believing the team will give him time to work through his struggles; if Myers were injured, he'd guess Matt Prater is the replacement. **Claimed:** Aug 25, 2026 **Pundit:** Brendon Nelson — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/brendon-nelson **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/seahawks/onsi/do-seahawks-have-recourse-jason-myers-after-shaky-preseason One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in. > Ultimately, this team will live with Myers, and hopefully not die with him. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jason Myers to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: Jason Myers, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - Jason Myers — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/players/jason-myers - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/nfl/teams/seahawks ## What others said about the same people - Randy Gurzi on Jadarian Price: Gurzi suggests the Seahawks could sign three free agents — safety Donovan Wilson, guard Kevin Zeitler, and running back Kareem Hunt — if weaknesses show up after Week 1.
