So far kickers in the NFL playoffs are a perfect 34 for 34 for Field goals.(and perfect on PAT's)

is it still time for us to make a move to replace Gano? I cant see us going on a SB run with-out him missing at some point, so it begs the question that should we begin to replace him?

His contract would leave us with .75 million in dead cap but would save us 2.25 million.

your Dave Gettleman, what do you do? In my opinion we should stick it out with him for the final year of his contract, If he has another year like 2016 we should not bother resigning and get the best one available in next years draft.

This is depressing. I wonder how many NFL teams would've cut Gano's ass well before the end of the season? Probably the vast majority. It's so frustrating how this franchise sits idly by as the league constantly evolves.

I've said it before but clutch kickers are few and far between. Unless we can pry someone else's off their roster, we are stuck with Gano unless we want to gamble on an unknown that has a strong leg.

It is worth mentioning that Greg Zuerlein is available. Seems like the best option that I can tell.

Mason Crosby and Chris Boswell are the main reasons their teams are advancing.

Graham Gano is the main reason we could not even make it into the playoffs.

Do. Something. 

Gano isn't the main reason we didn't make the playoffs. He did have a bad year. 

Lots of kickers have off years though IMO.  I'd have competition ready for him next year and on speed dial if he doesn't recover

I hate to place the blame on one guy, but how many chances did he have to win the game this year? And how many wins did we need to a wildcard spot?

If Gano doesn't miss in Denver the season is completely different and also his misses literally cost us 3 games and arguably 4....with everyone elses fug ups ignored Gano could have gotten us a 10-6 record with his leg.

Top 3 money I expect that.....but yea he didn't

How many times did the D or O not do their job and put it on him? Like I said, he did have a bad year and I would have competition and a guy on speed dial but....I'd give him one more go

even Kasay had seasons he missed a lot. Granted Kasay made most of his late game memorable ones

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
