renndawg37 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I remember this guy going 0-4 for the Titans against the Bills in 2019, in a 7 point loss lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INbengalfan Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Cool. Parameters set for Evan McPherson's upcoming extension. Probably a half to a full mill more per season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him kicking for the Chiefs at a Bengals game and I asked a Chiefs fan "Is your kicker taller than a fifth grader?". It was astounding the difference seeing him next to offensive linemen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's definitely a small dude lol when he kicked for us he was fairly accurate but his size limits him so much, he was a lost cause kicked over 50+ and touchbacks on kickoffs were few and far between. Glad he made a place though, not too many Brazilian dudes in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrry32 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 That's a lot of money for a guy who is reliable but very limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkolMasterMN Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Y'all have to remember it's about what he did to earn this. These rich owners can pay men who succesfully put in good work and good performances for their franchise. "Santos has converted 90.5% of his field-goal attempts since joining the Bears in 2020, making 105 out of 116 attempted, and sits as the most accurate kicker in franchise history. " The above quote states why Santos earned this money. Congrats to Cairo and his family. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBears019 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Mu understanding is that this deal essentially replaces the two void years in his previous contract, as almost all of the guaranteed money will be paid out in the next two years. He's been rock solid for the Bears. He may not be hitting 60 yarders, but after the revolving door the bears had at that position after they cut Robbie Gould, I will take it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
