He was terrible. Not sure why they would want to keep him

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Didn’t they just extend him a year or so ago?

Prior to the groin injury was the most accurate kicker in the NFL, after that injury never seemed to find that grove again.

Once kickers lose that confidence it’s a downhill slide.

$21 million in his career is not bad for an Undrafted player

Overall, he's a nice run at it.
Made some great money (21 mil in 10 years) as a kicker
Maybe someone picks him up, but I get why the Vikes axed him.

He'll probably be one of those guys that might get another look or two as the vet kicking market is competitive, but not what we need.

Vanderjagt was the same, but older, so never got another chance after failing to recover from his groin injury.

Note to Jerry: Dump kickers who get a groin injury.

No thank you, we have Greg the leg.

Bring Dan Bailey back to Dallas to coach kickers, while Bones is busy drawing up trick plays.
