Is he basically the kicker version of JAG? He seemed...I don't know...somewhat replaceable? Maybe I'm wrong. 

His rookie year... he was consistently kicking out of the endzone IIRC.  Now... not so much.

He missed a gang of kicks when Anger replaced Daniel as his holder (and won punting job) last year.

He became more consistent later. 

That being said, I predicted 4 years, $16M ($4M guaranteed).  So he got double what I thought in guaranteed $.  (His agent deserves a nice raise.)

20th in FG%, (80.0), 24th in XP% (88.9). Also an impossibly bad 51.9% on touchbacks, though I have no idea if they were intentionally kicking short or what.

Still begs the question, what the hell are they thinking.

Don't worry. BOB has it allllll taken care of.

Don't get me wrong, I like Ka'imi. Once Anger got the holding stuff down, Fairbairn was nearly automatic.

He's probably looking at Dallas and thinking it's cheaper to just draft a quarterback and spread that money around to pay for kickers and players you acquire via draft picks.

Goodness knows that High School kicking game Tennessee was trotting out looked good, right?

Sometimes, you gotta pay to get competent production - which is what the Texans have, ultimately.
