I'm surprised he got an offer from Dallas at all.

I'm surprised he got an offer from Dallas at all.

I'm not. It's par for the course.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Does anyone have an extra point they want to make about his kicking last year?

 

[Carson]

Who the hell takes a pay cut, gets offered equal = same money elsewhere then wants to opt to go back to their old job?

 

[maryquality]

I believe it was their intention all along for him to leave. That's why they offered him less salary, knowing or hoping he would reject it and go elsewhere. Or our FO is still clueless to how terrible Greg Z is!! LOL

 

[links18]

We wanted him back after all? Par for the course from this organization. Maybe Terrence Steele can kick too, if he is so darn good.

 

[nightrain]

Does Greg know he will be kicking outdoors in NJ?

 

[infamousstyles]

Lol we offered him a deal? For what? Smh.

 

[jazzcat22]

Thanks Greg...you saved us from yourself by going to NY....

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

We were trying to resign him again, please Roger take this team from the Jones’s.

 

[kevm3]

This FO has no idea what they are doing.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Purely intentional. We don't have a kicker and we'll fish something out of the bargain barrel right before training camp.

 

[JPM]

We like our guys, who flat out suck.

Purely intentional. We don't have a kicker and we'll fish something out of the bargain barrel right before training camp.

And then Stephen will say X kicker can be as good as any kicker in the NFL.

 

[Carson]

Now watch Dallas trade a 5th to the Jets for Eddy Pineiro

 

[KJJ]

Zuerlein won’t have to worry about as many PAT’s with the Jets but he’s going to have a lot more FG attempts.

 

[8FOR!3]

I'm surprised he got an offer from Dallas at all.

And the funny thing was it wasn't even enough for Greg Zuerlein after last season what did he even get offered, $15 an hour??

lol in all honesty he probably just wanted a change of scenery after struggling.

We have a kicker, Chris Naggar, but we're probably about as sure about him as we are about Zuerlein improving a year removed from back surgery.

Kind of reminds me of the Chris Jones situation. We refused to give up on him even though injuries had clearly deteriorated his skills. We then were forced to replace him and found Niswander, who did a good job in his half-season audition. It wasn't enough to keep us from bringing in Anger, which proved to be a good move, but we can at least hope being forced to move on from Zuerlein will work out as well.
