After almost two decades with the Oakland Raiders, veteran kicker Sebastian Janikowski will be looking for work in the NFL.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Raiders will be parting ways with Janikowski as the sweeping changes continue in Oakland.

Ironically enough, Janikowski, who turns 40 in March, was the only player on the team left from Gruden's first stint with the Raiders. Oakland selected Janikowski out of Florida State with the 17th overall pick in the 2000 NFL Draft. It was the fourth player Gruden brought in through the draft during his time with the Raiders. Gruden's first pick was Charles Woodson in 1998 followed by Mo Collins, Matt Stinchcomb in 1999, and Janikowski a year later.

Last season, Janikowski agreed to take a million-dollar pay cut and then dealt with a back issue which cost him the entire season. The longtime kicker was ultimately replaced by Giorgio Tavecchio who played well in the absence of the 39-year-old.

Janikowski maintained his role as the starting kicker on the Raiders for almost two decades due to his ability to play consistently well from year to year. The man also known as Seabass built up his reputation over the years by being a threat to kick field goals from 50 yards or more. In 18 seasons, Janikowski put 55 footballs through the uprights from 50 yards or more.

With the team moving on from Janikowski, it may be Tavecchio's job to lose moving forward unless the team has plans to take a kicker in the 2018 NFL Draft the way Gruden did back in 2000 with Sebastian. Tavecchio hit 16 of the 21 field-goal attempts last season with his longest coming from 53 yards.
