Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign K Greg Zeurlein

[Risen Star]

forbath was good in limited opportunity last year but has not been great his career, this is an upgrade, and when games are on the line, I’d prefer the better kicker

Forbath was the better kicker last year.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

They know they're going to have to kick a lot of long field goals with Prescott as our future. Need the depth.

Still upset we didn't move up and take Wentz. lol.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Now bring in a QB to compete with Dak.

 

[phildadon86]

This is a terrible decision. Zuerlein was horrible last year from the 40s yards out. What are the Cowboys thinking, especially since Forbath was 10 for 10 at the end of the season?

Outdoor vs indoor maybe? Plus. The rams in general weren’t that great last year

 

[Texas_Pete]

Clutch

 

[JohnsKey19]

He had a very poor season last year. 6 misses from 40-49 yards in 11 attempts. Maher was 1 of 5 in that range.

Vanderjact part deux???

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Now bring in a QB to compete with Dak.

Rush can't compete?

 

[Texas_Pete]

 

[Carson]

Vanderjact part deux???

Have to trust Bones judgment

 

[AbeBeta]

Sooooo, we signed Forbath why, again?

Neither have a ton of guaranteed money. Z was off last year. If he's back on track Forbath is gone. If he isn't, he's getting cut

 

[Vinnie2u]

Rush can't compete?

Rush holds jocks.

 

[DFWJC]

Sooooo, we signed Forbath why, again?

Only the 137k insurance policy
They weren't sure they could get Legatron, obviously.
Now that they got him, Forbath can pocket his cash, maybe hang around a bit, then find work elsewhere.

 

[Captain43Crash]

A shiny new toy for Jerry!

He has a huge leg, but is he as accurate as Forbath. I think Forbath is 8th all time in accuracy among kickers!

We have already seen how a big leg does not always translate into accuracy.

 

[DFWJC]

So they signed Forbath to a $1.5 million contract just nine days ago.

137k guaranteed

 

[quickccc]

2 kickers signed? I understand competition but this contract pretty much says its over.

is the contract guaranteed ?
it only takes place and goes into effect if he makes the team right ?

 

[Texas_Pete]

 

[JohnsKey19]

Have to trust Bones judgment

I agree. I'm on board with the move.

 

[Risen Star]

Having the nickname "the leg" is pretty sweet though. Can't complain about that.

 

[Proof]

Apparently Z had an injured foot last year.

 

[MaaS]

I didn't know he was available. Great signing.
