How much signing bonus did Vanderjagt get?

[dalsyk]

I was wondering if Vanderjagt goes south on us, how much of a cap hit it would be to release him? I know it is very early but Vanderjagt started out saying he was looking forward to kicking off. The story he was telling later was he could do the job but prefered not to. He hasn't attempted a kickoff and is not showing any confidence yet on field goals. This new kicker from California is looking good and he does it all. Punt, kickoff and field goals. I really like Mcbriar but hate tying up so many roster spots on kickers. Thoughts? P.S. Be nice​

Vanderjagt is making this team.. yes, Parcells is frustrated with him and understandably so, but he is making this team..

as for Fredrickson making this team over McBriar, you may be on to something there.. I have thought a lot about it.. I think McBriar is a great punter, but it's really tempting to get a guy that can punt and kickoff and save us that roster spot.. I would just hate letting go of a Junior Glymph or a Jason Fabini because we need a freakin' kickoff specialist..

My thoughts exactly. I also believe he makes the team but wish he would show something.

Vanderjagt is our kicker for the season. He had always been a slow starter -- probably because he doesn't do much kicking in the off-season. This guy has missed 8 total FGs inside the 40 in his career. We must have had like 5 of those just last year.

To answer the question, Vanderjagt got a $2.5 million signing bonus.

Mcbriar was not that good last year... his punts inside the 20 r weak... v. the Hawks Parcells let him have it for blowing another punt inside the 20 that wasnt even close!!!


McBriar was good when this team was 6-10... if they wanna wina SUPER BOWL they need a guy who can put it inside the 20... with this "O" there is no need for a 60 yard punt guy!!!

you got %s? Nope. McBriar is the lowest % of those 5 - among guys with 50 or more punts, he's 10th out of 31 - not awful but certainly not as good as the #4 above suggests.

% of what, % of times kicked inside the 20 as compared to kicks? That number would mean nothing since the punters did not all kick from the same spot.


He is #4 in kicks inside the 20

#9 in return average
