Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign K Greg Zeurlein

[_sturt_]

Other way around.

Absolute nonsense, unless you're one of those people who buy milk for 3x the price just because you like the label.

The kicker market is evidently non-existent, and the Cowboys basically have said, "Okay, see if you can out-kick Forbath in preseason, and maybe."

 

[Stash]

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

$137,500 if/when they cut him.

Well we have 5 comp picks and the most a team can have is 4. Even if he does count - we’d lose a 6th round comp pick..

And if you could go back in time to trade a 5th for the best kicker in the NFL last year knowing it would be the difference in making the playoffs - would you do it?

I wouldn't hesitate.

 

[reddyuta]

makes no sense to give 2 kickers contracts,hopefully we can trade one of them.

AKA, what Jerry pays weekly for restocking scotch on the Yacht.

 

[Captain43Crash]

How is the move stupid? Forbath was insurance and his contract was only guaranteed for 137K. If they cut him tomorrow it will have zero impact on anything.

It’s stupid because Forbath is most likely the more accurate kicker, for less money!!!!

 

[Risen Star]

So the Cowboys just basically flushed a couple mill of cap space for no reason. Didn't improve the team one iota.

And we will without a doubt sign other free agents, meaning it will count in the end.

He's coming off of a poor season (72.7% on field goals), and he has been somewhat up and down in his career, but he has a hell of a leg and a long history with John Fassel. Let's see how it goes.

I thought they would bring in a couple of rookies to complete with Kai

That's what kickers do. They're up then they're down. Forbath could easily out kick Zuerlein in 2020 just like he did in 2019.

He has been on six different teams and his career kicking % is 86. I'm glad he did well in a few games here, but its foolish to expect him to do significantly better than his career average.

Especially when you sign one of the best to replace him.

Somebody explain to me what point he thinks he's making.

 

[quickccc]

105.3 fan radio guys said he had a poor December and battled thru injuries

 

[MWH1967]

Take that....

 

[Doomsday]

He was terrible from 40-49 yards last season, missing 6 of 11 attempts.

Hopefully, that was an aberration.

 

[Risen Star]

Vanderjagt was one of the league's best when he came here and crapped the bed. Similar situation. The Cowboys looked at career over what the player is doing now.

 

[Plankton]

There is no kicking competition. 3.5 million guaranteed makes The Leg your kicker. Nice knowing you, Kai. Should have come up with a good nickname.

You will accept how great he is and you will do this now.
