That's what the espn forecast shows. But then they have Marlon Moore throwing.

Warning -- it isn't pretty.

Rob Bironas:
Even though he is 36-years old, Bironas would certainly qualify as a "win-now" kicker. Bironas went 25 of 29 last season with the Tennessee Titans, including two of three from beyond 50 yards. Bironas does have some playoff experience, but he has gone three of five in two playoff appearances -- including one miss in a 13-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens when he was with Tennessee.

David Akers:
Akers is not the same kicker he used to be during his long stint in Philadelphia from 1999-2010, but he did knock in all three of his attempts from 50-plus yards last season with Detroit. Akers' accuracy from that deep is impressive, but he forced less touchbacks than Henery did last season, which is one of the Eagles' main problem with their current kicker. A reunion would be a nice story, however.

Rian Lindell:
Lindell has the strongest leg among these free agent options. The 37-year old hit four of his six attempts from 50-plus yards last season. Lindell did have his accuracy issues, however, missing four kicks between 30 to 49 yards.

It's too bad because Potter was looking good. Hopefully, Lindell is getting a call from the Phin FO ASAP. Hell, he might even beat out Sturgis.......

The Dolphins will be holding OPEN AUDITIONS for kickers in the next two days, so if you're an agent that has an available kicker...holla.
 
Lawrence Tynes, Rob Bironas and David Akers are still out there...why we dicking around with Potter? I alo saw that ESPN had a picture of Marlon Moore playing QB for us.
 
We might want to wait after teams cut to 53. Probably better options out there then. Is Sturgis still out?
