    There are several UFA college kickers sitting at home, with 10 days off call 2 0r 3 in for a workout and sign the best one to a rookie contract, your not talking millions your talking maybe 400 or 500 K...

    So they have 5 million in cap space to use for a kicker?

    I thought OP was saying we were already spending 5m on kickers.

    Which would make sense, as we have gone through 3 vet kickers this season.

    Either one would be basically correct. We've got a little more than 5 Mil tied up in kickers this year, and we have a little over $5 Mil in cap space. I'm assuming the former is what he was trying to say.

    No. Scobee himself is making like $3.24 million or something but we inherited that from the Jags I'm pretty sure.
