Stephen Gostowski is not being franchised by Patriots. Making him a FA.

Cardinals have a dire need and this looks like a good match to me. Gostowski struggled last year to an extent but he will be better than anyone Cardinals can add. Sure, the price will be high but will check off a big box to solidify special teams between Jeff Rodgers, Andy Lee and Stephen Gostowski .

all of those players listed above would look nice in a Cardinals uniform.

I don’t think throwing money at the kicker, is wise atm. That money should be spent on fixing the O-Line.imho

I don’t see the team spending much on a kicker, it will be Gonzalez in Camp versus a rookie or AAF kicker.

It is a pipe dream that Keim can fix OL.

I will settle for Kliff making lemonade out of offense with OL put together from draft picks, waivers, low-cost depth guys etc. A top 5 defense and a top 15 special teams with lemonade offense should keep Cardinals in most games.

Behind you
No one wants to PAY for a kicker until there's 3 seconds on the clock and you need a 48 yard kick to win.

YES you pay for a kicker ...and G. is worth paying for

We've all seen other teams come in with great kickers and the second they line up the kick...we all say....'it's gonna be good' before the ball is in the air.

Wouldn't it be nice if it was your team for once.

Well, that wasn't Gostkowski last season.

This. He was clutch in snow, wind, rain, etc... stands to reason he would be almost automatic in AZ

See Brady's actual guarantees, as opposed to headline grabbing totals.


See Brady's wife's account.

And also notice his lack of endorsements....Shaq is doing any commercial they throw at him.

If Brady wanted to be a salesmen, He could have easily made close to Tiger Woods endorsement $$$ throughout his career.

For some guys, having more than enough $$, is indeed more than enough.

This team has paid time and time again for kickers to do just that, and time and time again they miss.

I do not care who it is, there is something here in AZ that kills kicker careers

If I had a dollar for every kicker this has been said about, BEFORE they come to AZ, I could retire and debate on this board all day.


Not saying it would not be a good move for the Cardinals, but this place is cursed.
