Rayner was then signed by the Green Bay Packers on April 6, 2006. After Billy Cundiff was released, Rayner became the Packers' full-time kicker for the 2006 season. It has been noted that Rayner has one of the stronger legs amongst NFL placekickers. During the 2006 season, he kicked a 54-yard field goal against the Philadelphia Eagles, tying the longest field goal in Packers' history (Ryan Longwell and Chris Jacke also have made 54-yard field goals). He also made a 55-yard field goal two weeks later against the Miami Dolphins; however, it was called back due to a defensive penalty that occurred before the snap, nullifying the play.

On September 1, 2007, the Packers released him in favor of highly-touted rookie Mason Crosby.
Rayner was signed on November 9, 2010 to fill in for the injured Jason Hanson.

In a December 19, 2010 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Rayner kicked a game-tying field goal as time expired in the 4th quarter. He then kicked a game-winning field goal in sudden death overtime. He became the first Lions kicker to accomplish this feat.
On January 2, 2011 against the Minnesota Vikings, Rayner kicked a career-long 55 yard field goal. Only Jason Hanson had kicked a longer field goal as Lions kicker.
On August 29, 2011, Rayner was released by the Lions.[3]
Dallas Cowboys
Rayner signed with the Dallas Cowboys on August 30.

Ok, has one of the strongest legs for kickoffs, brought in to push beuhler? Next, has kicked critical field goal attempts, even in overtime games. What do you think cowboys fans?
 
I am hoping for one of the Vets and get either Bailey or Forbath on the practice squad. The Buehler experiment should be over.

Rayner is the man.

Probably right. Graham's last game with the Deadskins makes me nervous and apparently Rayner has good KO leg strength.
