If he is icing everything <47 and beats the rap in court and the court of public opinion, really no reason to cut him. Let’s just see the season play out but I’d be pretty happy not shifting the game plan and especially our 2 min offense because a moderate fg is not dependable. Lambeau is not an easy place to kick and will get harder every week this season but if he can be league average, that’s still a huge upgrade. Our offense is dangerous enough that we don’t have to settle for 3s but sometimes you need one. 

He's also 33 which, while not especially old for a kicker, still means his best seasons are behind him.  I think it's likely they pick up a rookie kicker in the offseason and try again.

Whatever it takes. But if he’s making them and the team is comfortable with him as a person, they might not be so quick to jump back on the rollercoaster.

Lol they tried that route in 2023 lol.  Needless to say it didn't work out
