I actually hope Zeurlien is better than Forbath this next year because I am pretty sure with the contract he signed and our new Special Teams coach he will be our kicker, but over the course of their careers Forbath has been the more consistent kicker at putting the ball between the uprights, which is the most important thing a kicker does.
If Forbath is clearly better, I just can't buy into Dallas keeping Zeurlein over him. (If it's pretty much even, then yes.)
While some are looking at his guaranteed money, they need to understand that it's only $2.5 million of $7.5 million . That means it's still a savings of $5 million overall to cut him. The $2.5 million is just what it took to get a kicker of his caliber to come here and allow the team to see if he meets its expectations. It's really sunken cost if we had to cut him since we wouldn't have to turn around and spend another $2.5 million to bring in another kicker because we already have Forbath.
