Cody Parkey is the Bears top kicker target Update: deal done

[THE OG CANEPHINS]

Free Agent Kickers left on the board...

Sebastian Janikowski K 40 OAK
Blair Walsh K 28 SEA
Mike Nugent K 36 CHI
Caleb Sturgis K 28 PHI
Chandler Catanzaro K 27 NYJ
Nick Novak K 36 LAC
Cairo Santos K 26 CHI
Kai Forbath K 30 MIN
Patrick Murray K 26 TB

Not one of those move the needle in any way. Draft wise we could always select Badgley in a later round.

Thank god Aguayo is signed.

 

[ahmilli]

This is just ridiculous.....

 

[randomname]

Thank god Aguayo is signed.

We could always trade for him.

All those guys blow.

This is not about money folks with a move like this and signing a shrimp receiver when we already have one on the squad. This is about torpedoes and how many Tbum can fire to sink the Dolphins franchise.

 

[NYC#1finsfan]

Sign an UDFA kicker on the cheap. Who knows, with our eye for talent we just may find a gem.........LOL LOL LOL LOL

Going forward we really should insist our front office decision-makers take Wonderlich Tests with the hiring threshhold being about 30 - not the suspected 15 I'm charitably attributing to Bozo and Bozette

The scuttlebutt is that this is 100% Gase's doing and that Tannenbaum is just standing aside and giving him the rope.

Tbaum is a survivor.

Bro, I gotta know where youre hearing that from. Is that in regards to the entire offseason? Or just the Parkey deal?

 

[phintim]

Albert Wilson is not a "shrimp receiver." He's 5'9" 203. (Same height and more than ten pounds heavier than Mark Duper).

Jakeem Grant is 5'6" 165.

That's a shrimp receiver.

Clayton and Duper were both referred to as smurf recievers back in their day so I stand by my quote. This new guy is a shrimp.

You misplaced the decimal, but I fixed it for you

Depends on what Parkey was asking for and what the Bears offered. Dolphins are not in a position to over spend on a kicker. Only contending teams should do that. To me it's like seeing a 70 or 80 win baseball team breaking the bank on a great closing pitcher. What's the point.

 

[royalshank]

Ya, he said he wanted to keep Suh but it was cost prohibitive. That one still bothers him.

Parkey is a loss for sure but much like the Patriots, don't pay RB's and Kicker's and you'll stay ahead of the curve. Believe it or not, Adam Vinatieri hasn't always been a Colt.

Oye I really wish I could share your optimism right now. I really do.

 

[multistage]

Sorry. Missed the original post.

 

[ColoradoFin]

I would sign Sebastian Janikowski. Florida State Guy. I think he’s a good 8 years younger than Vinatieri. Lots of tread left on the tires.
