whats the structure, whats the cap hit for this year?

don't think that info has been released yet 

[LinvilleGorge]

Still want to see the full structure but my guess is that we're likely going to be tied to him for at least two seasons.

 Let’s see.... 5 years/21 M

Hindsight is 20/20.

Gano still has issues hitting clutch kicks and had one over 50 all year long. He wasn't challenged. Also missed XP. But he'd still be more consistent than Bukner or bringing in a rookie.

Get Norwell to work out a long term deal now.

He is also the best kicker. Most people here expected him to get 5 mil a year too.

The best kicker in the NFL hasn't missed 6 extra points over the past two seasons.

second highest paid kicker in the league.....

Still okay with this on one condition.

If we have the second highest-paid kicker in the league, then when we're in position to try a 50 to 53 yard field goal, we damn well better not be punting.

Neither does his coach punt from the 35 yard line.

Hit the game winner is New England. Butker missed a kick in the playoffs. Chiefs lost by 3 points.

How many times did we actually do that last season? I remember the one shortly after half that really pissed Gano off, but other than that I'm not remembering any obvious situations.

Would much rather have had Butker at 4 years for $2,483,112.  620K per year just seems so much better........

Which is a lot easier goal to attain when you never go for 50 yarders.

Not if you wanted Gano cut last March. And he sure as hell shouldn’t have made it to the season. The only hindsight in this situation is Gano having a good season. Something no one predicted.
