That's my question. If this effected him why are they not taking this inconsideration to him coming back? To even compete for the job? They don't even want this guy to compete here. That's why I say I think its bigger than we all think when it comes to him. I don't know what he was doing at practice or the offseason but it leads me to believe he was already on a short leash. They already cut the guy once.
Total guess here, but my theory is that it's more of a money issue than anything. Maher is 32 years old and yet to get a real NFL payday even by kicker standards. He has by far the best year of his career, and has regular season numbers that are pro bowl worthy so he expects to finally cash in, but because of the Tampa game teams are likely offering 'prove it' type of deals that come with minimal guaranteed money.
I'd say it's safer than trading then signing Wilson
The replacement snapper admitted when he signed that the league thought his snaps were too slow. That could screw up timing and give the defense a better chance to disrupt and block the kick.
Love your pic. As for Maher, I’ve never seen a kicker do that in my 50 years of watching games. He absolutely had no business doing that and I don’t plane the FO AT ALL for moving on. Just cannot take that risk again.
The only kicker on the roster right now is Tristan Vizcaino, he missed five extra points in 2021 as a Charger.
The last year he was here he hit 64% of FG
I assume that Denver is signing Maher. I'm all for signing McManus if he's willing to sign a cheaper deal. Around 2 million instead of the 4 + million he was getting in Denver. I would be fine with bringing Folk back but he is older and we have to wait on him. Crosby who is also older is likely done imo.
No. Not Folk.

Be prepared for a 70yd fg if he does sign with Denver,and I'm not kidding.
Correcting myself as McManus off the board now and is a Jaguar
already a Jag called a jag here now with the jags oh the irony
The real problem was with the holder, moreso than the kicker. I'm sure the kicker was worried about where the ball would be put down, and that may have affected his concentration, but we know Anger said it really messed with his head regarding holding. I think all three guys, kicker, holder, and center were affected in that they all started pressing....I need to get this ball down perfectly without seeing my usual spot....I need to make this snap perfectly over the spot the holder has his hands so he can get it down right....I have to adjust if the ball is a little off and not just stare at the spot I'm expecting it.
