Chicago Bears waive kicker Ramiz Ahmed
The Chicago Bears brought in competition for kicker Eddy Pineiro, but it didn’t take long for him to win the job and be the lone kicker on the roster.
The Bears announced on Tuesday that they waived former Nevada kicker Ramiz Ahmed, who hasn’t played since 2018.

This offseason each team is limited to an 80-man roster and the Bears decided to use the last spot for newly signed safety Marqui Christian instead of Ahmed.
Pineiro won the kicking competition last offseason and finished the 2019 season going 23-of-28 in field goals and 27-of-29 in extra points. Now, Pineiro is set to be the Bears starter for the second straight season.
