We had D-Law's agent on the pod tonight. Drops tomorrow.

He says D-Law, while likely in, is still evaluating.

 

Say what you will about Lawrence...but we'd take a big hit if he sat out the season.

LOL....Forbath released. Dallas choose another kicker who stinks from 40+. Knew there was zero chance of a kicker competition. 

Zuerlein had a terrible year last year, but he was very good every other season over his career. Not sure if he hit a wall or just had a down year. Regardless, we all knew that Forbath was a goner the moment Zuerlein signed.

So why not let them battle throughout camp?

All I can figure is Forbath must struggle on kickoffs because his career FG% from 40+ is outstanding and definitely better than Zuerlein’s.

Because Zuerlein signed a $7.5M contract. Forbath was on a 1-year, $1.3M deal. Zuerlein’s signing bonus is nearly as large as Forbath’s salary, so the decision is likely nothing more than a numbers game.

And there's the problem. Just because a dude makes more money, doesn't mean he should automatically be guaranteed a position.
