I know he hasn't been Gostkowski of old but this is a massive loss in the long run. We've seen year after year how a Kicker or lack there of can cost teams games and or advancement in the Playoffs. 

Kicker might be the most underappreciated position sports,  until you find out don't have a reliable one.

Bill Belichik approves this message.

Frees a roster spot for Stefon Diggs

I think the Patriots only have like $1M in cap space after the AB saga.

On the Gostkowski front, I'm hoping this explains his extra point struggles and he comes back better next year. In the mean time, it won't be pretty for whatever off-the-street kicker they find.

$2M - I don't know if that is pre or post moving Gostkowski to IR

Virtually none, I would guess. It’s his head. Don’t think he ever got over missing that XP in mile high that cost them a shot at the SB.

I'm sure it haunts him. If only he was able to prove himself, maybe go out and help the Pats win a Superbowl - that would probably help him get over this 5 year slump of his.

Nonsense I say!!

Not sure this is sarcasm or PTSD from the Aguayo debacle?
