He’s a ~4 million dollar K & Jerry Jones is a greedy d-bag.
As a Jets fan, you certainly don't want to see this
Oh God. Not that stiff. Who on earth and why on earth don't they just pull a full stop here and forget about it and just sign Bailey.? Perhaps his cap cut for getting cut is large and the Jets don't want to make that mistake? Or they just are refusing to spend the extra million and a half? Otherwise, this makes no sense. This is isn't fantasy football where you just grab any ol' kicker anwywhere because of VBD. These guys have to make their kicks not against each other and in comparison to other 31, but in the game and facing a tough environment.
I disagree gently and would like to point out that the guy who generally is considered the modern best and an all-time top-five guy usually doesn't show up at your doorstep from the street when you've been having kicking troubles for two years running (I'm looking at you, Jets). You pay at least the 3.4 he was making, tip your cap, and throw him the papers. I know you don't seem to like kickers, but they're three points, and those three points, applied consistently, can swing football dynamics by generally -2 to +2 losses per year, which is playoffs.He’s a ~4 million dollar K & Jerry Jones is a greedy d-bag.
seems simple enough. Bailey should find work, but there are an awful lot of unemployed soccer players that will work for peanuts.
personally I’m hoping the new Cowboys K hits at about 58% & misses 5 straight game-winning FGs to teach Jones a lesson in frugality, but he reality is Kicker is ultimately the most replaceable player in the NFL.
Every year we see last minute K cuts & signings - how often does a QB walk into a front office 48 hours before the season & get handed a contract to be a starter by comparison? (Jay Cutler is about the only one who comes to mind and it still wasn’t that close to the games)
This is partly why I do a K contest every year - They get no love, so winning something for guessing the right K is a way for people to love kickers again. Poor ‘lil fellas.
Heck, you can disagree strongly / angrily. I’ve got thick skin.
Maybe - but he was getting paid a lot, and I’m reasonably sure that’s why The Dallas JerryJoneses cut him.
Right - but at that price I understand the trepidation from teams, especially when compared to the FA market, which is deep.
Sort of.
What could be more real & substantal than winning a couple bottles of award-winning hot sauce?

get your guess in!
Translation: “imma wait to see who the Jets sign & pick them.”
I'm going to need to see some set roosters before I fire away with that.
Heh. I know you are. Naw, I did every one of these last year once I read back through the thread and figured out what was going on. You'll definitely have a pick and distance from me before Sunday -- I'll likely forego the Thursday night game, though that one features some stalwart kickers.Translation: “imma wait to see who the Jets sign & pick them.”
Lmao - just playin.
Love these contests, but kickers are serious business, so you’ve got to give us the scoring system.Let’s get this season started in style!
The unofficial, official, unofficial inaugural kicker contest!
Easy to win.
Even easier to lose!
All ya gotta do is pick the K who scores the more points this week, and guess the distance of his longest FG.
that’s the tiebreaker.
1. # of Points
2. FG distance
the closest to #1, then #2 wins two bottles of their choice of award-winning hot sauce.
get those guesses in!
Rules:
All entries MUST be put in 15 mins before the morning games on Sunday. IF you want a K from the Thursday night game, get that pick in 15 mins before kickoff.
USA shipping only. I can only be so generous.

I did.
Who would have thought we’d be talking actual points on FANTASY message board?
Our first TNF entry!Who would have thought we’d be talking actual points on FANTASY message board?
Just proves how valuable kickers are though...they are always among the league’s leading points-earners.
#FirstRoundKicker
I’ll take Matt Bryant, Atlanta. 14 points.
Tiebreakers are for cowards!Our first TNF entry!
and ya didn’t give us his long for tiebreaker.
dont edit - clear & repost.
Lions have a good history of solid kickers. Not much else, but they always have that going for them.starks said:
Home dome. I’ve always targeted Lions K’s. Wish they had a later BYE, but Prater is my week 1 K in one of my leagues.
As soon as one of the ham & egger Ks blows a game, Bailey adds $500k to his asking price. He will be kicking again very soon.Dan Bailey has to be an upgrade for at least 10 teams and some of them should want to win at the cost of a couple $M
First, thanks for playing.
