With 40 something Dawson, why could not Keim give up u a 5th rounder to get Bailey and secure the future? Unless Bailey is injured or something we don't know about, Keim needs to wake up.

100% we should be calling him. He is the second most accurate kicker in league history and he is nails from 50

He missed 4 games last year and had a 75% accuracy rate so maybe he just sucks now.

Posts like this crack me up. I guess Keim along with 30 other GM's need to wake up?

Dallas held on to QB, Mike White. He played very well against us. So it looks like they're going with three QB's.

Tell that about not sending a draft pick for Chris Boswell.

I will give that 5th may be high but a 6th rounder is a throw away. Ala Chris Campbell this year.

Comparing McCrane and Bailey? Please give me break

This is idiocy. He must have pissed of Jones.

The Cowboys will move forward with Brett Maher. The 28-year-old bounced around as an offseason-leg since going undrafted out of Nebraska in 2013. He has zero regular-season attempts to his record. Maher played in the CFL the past four years, making 78.1 percent of his field goal attempts in that span, including 41 of 50 in 2017. Maher connected on a 57-yard attempt in the Cowboys preseason finale.

Why didn't they? I am going to say because SK is not drinking anymore, at least I hope he isn't.

We'd be nuts to not try to sign Bailey....

Because of his 75% accuracy rate last year or his recent injury history? I'm sure Keim and company know the ins and outs of his abilities at this time.

It is because he was being paid 3+ million dollars per year and he was no longer performing to the level of his contract. by his own admission bailey is out of sorts mentally after his injury last year. he missed some kicks against seattle last year that really hurt their chances in that game. I hope bailey finds another team. He can really help someone if he gets his game back because he was money between 40-50 especially with the game on the line. I was shocked by this news, but when you take a step back it makes sense.

Why do people value low draft picks so damn much? If you told me that our kicking game would go from average to very good I would give up a 5th for that.. How many 5ths add up to anything? A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush... never seems that way in the NFL. I'm not saying the kicker that is being talked about is all that anymore but if we think he was I would pull the trigger.

I think dallas actually drafted bailey somewhere in the 5th or 6th if I recall. He is definitely worth that when he is on his game. I don't think he is hurt anymore it appears that he has just lost his confidence with the injury knocking him out of rhythm. a fresh start could see him back to form.
