Kicker Catanzaro not receiving a tender offer from Cards

[az jam]

We may have a new kicker.

Urban:the Cardinals have two restricted free agents-to-be in kicker Chandler Catanzaro and tight end Darren Fells. Neither player is expected to receive a tender offer, but both are candidates to return to the roster depending on their market value.

Jurecki reported this morning that he expects both to be back on lower deals and to add another kicker to compete with Catanzaro.

Why they should overpay them after a so-so season?

 

[az jam]

Maybe Cards use a low round draft pick on ASU Kicker Zane Gonzalez.

I read somewhere that BA&SK have been courting Phil Dawson.

Phil Dawson!!??? Was George Blanda asking too much? Dawson kicked when Cosell was doing Monday night highlights... What were they courting him with... A free life alert subscription

 

[Lagerfilled]

I'd rather have Robbie Gould

There has been reported BA&SK interest in Gould too.

Dawson is 41, but he's not the oldest kicker in the NFL thanks to Adam Vinateri.

Dawson in 2016 (SF): 18/21 FG 33/34 XPT. Pretty consistent.

If you are worried about kickoffs---(he only kicked 4 touchbacks)---Matt Wile is a very good kickoff man---big leg.

And he's 1 of the best in many many years.

Free agent kickers with age.

Nick Folk 32
Dan Carpenter 31
Jordan Gay 26
Brandon McManus 26
Steven Hauschka 32

Cat has to be the biggest enigma kicker I've ever seen. The guy misses his share of extra points, kicks a 60 yard FG but misses a 24 yard FG. He's basically a poor man's Joe Nedney.

I'd take Santos in a heartbeat but KC already tendered him.

Thanks, Some on the list were RFAs not UFAs. I wasn't sure who got tendered.

Zane is good, but I will throw a chair through a window if we use a pick on a kicker.

Well, considering we once wasted a 1st round pick(Steve Little) and a 2nd round pick(John Lee) that ended up biting us in the ass, I'm with you on that.

How many windows did you break last season, when the kicker cost the Cards games?

I agree and I will give you one name, Roberto Aguayo. The Buccaneer's blew a draft pick on him based on his college career and the guy was not worth the selection... hence, there is something about the pressure in the NFL where you cannot predict what a rookie might do and why I would rather go with a vet

 

[Stout]

Good.

 

[az jam]

I think Gonzalez is worth a 7th round pick.

5th for me.

 

[az jam]

5th for me.

We do have the comp pick in the 5th round.

This is a good point about Wile - who is a deep punter AND can do kick-offs if we go with a more accurate kicker with a weaker leg than CatMan.

Why? We would be much better with a consistent kicker.

 

[az jam]

Tampa Bay gave up a 2nd round pick for Kicker Aguayo. That is nuts.

 

[TJ]

Why? We would be much better with a consistent kicker.

Because there are a lot of good kickers available in FA right now. Zane will cost a Day 2 pick. We can pick a solid CB, Guard, ILB, WR, etc. where we'd pick Zane, which are a more pressing need.
