Parkey misses more from 40-49 yards than Gano does, 60% for his  career while Gano is nearly 80%.  Ironically, Parkey is 5-5 from 50 plus.  And Parkey is a little bit better at the shorter ones, but he has a very small sample size.  Parkey appears to be at best, a lateral move.    

A lateral, cheaper move.

Seems like a no brainer to me.

Doesn't Gano cost us some cap space though, ie dead money if we cut him now.  I admit to not fully understanding how it works, but I think that is the case, and if so, its not much of a bargain.   I would prefer to keep the rookie we drafted over signing a guy who is not an improvement over the kicker we have.

Don't see Parkey replacing Gano at all. I also highly doubt another kicker that is better than Gano will be let go before the start of the season so I think it will be Gano for now. I guess I can live with that for now.
