If he’s as good as he used to be he wouldn’t be available which means:...

 

[WillieBeamen]

No thanks, hes washed up

 

[Jake]

He's only made 75% of his FGs each of the last 2 seasons.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Not interested. The Dan Bailey that was awesome for the Cowboys doesn't exist any more.

 

[glimmerman]

I am not sold on him either but would like to bring him back home and see.. It seems to be all in there heads..

 

[MonsterD]

Why didn't we trade with the Ravens for that guy?

 

[Ranched]

Take him back. Should have never released him. Front office rushed him back too soon after injury. His stats are brutal. Maher is awful. There is no such thing as a washed up kicker. Good ones just get better.

Longest field goal: 56
Field goals made: 207
Field goals attempted: 239
Field goal %: 86.6

No thanks, hes washed up

Then why is he STILL #1?!

Come again?

You HAVE to be trolling, right?

He's made 36 of 48 FG attempts the last 2 seasons. What he did in 2015 is irrelevant.

Bring Home Bay Leaves!!

MINNY just traded for a kicker lol. Means Bailey IS available. Do the right thing and bring him back. At least let him compete for a job.

The stats say if he kicks close to his avg % it will not vary much in the grand scheme and the guys below him would also have kick above their avg to catch up, he is top 5 in percentage right now. To stay at that accuracy bailey would need to kick equal to or better than 29/34 and the last two seasons he has not whereas Maher's struggles aside he was 29/36 last year ad has the team record for length. SeBas made a living as strong leg kicker with pretty erratic accuracy with 91% being his best and 68% being his worst.

The irony of this statement and your avatar put together is awesome. And I LOVED Dez. P.s what do you think of Pollard? I actually really like your takes on RB

Im torn on pollard. I really like the player...

He has talent and is a nice weapon for Dak but giving him snaps takes our best player (Zeke) off the field.

He will be a matchup nightmare for Linebackers in the passing game, though

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I love Dan and didn't want him cut. saying that though I think he's done. Sad to say.

 

[Rayman70]

worth a look...don't have to buy..just look,maybe let him earn a kicking job.

Unfortunately so.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Jerry should have traded the first round draft pick for a kicker and not Cooper.

Sadly, Garrett's game planning & playbook only amounts to FGs .

So the kicker is much more important than many realize .

 

[pancakeman]

Management's timing was perfect unloading the guy. I don't get why people would think it's a good idea to bring him back. If you're going to say Maher's record last year wasn't good enough, you have to find a replacement who did better!

Bailey entered last season as the NFL's second-most accurate kicker in history. Then he missed seven of his 28 field-goal attempts, tying his career-worst 75% accuracy mark for the second straight season.
