Lol if you think it's just as easy to find something kicker off the street.

We've been spoiled by Kasy too long.

Gano isn't the best, but it's better to pay him than end up with another Medlock.

Probably could have found a decent one in the draft.

I mean, we did last year.

Someone earlier asked for some context, here you go.  Highlighted a couple of the kickers I noticed mentioned in this thread.  Keep in mind, this is an "all time" list of kickers sorted on career FG make %.

Gano isn't the best....but by god let's pay him that way.

Holy poo, that is a lot for a kicker.  

The top kicker contracts in the league, 
Gostkowski (4.3 mil per year)
Tucker (4.2 mil per year)
Crosby (4.025 mil per year)
Succop (4 mil per year)

If we just paid Gano 5.5 mil per year, he is BY FAR the highest paid kicker in the league!!!

Math error, nevermind.

I too am often excited when the Carolina Panthers make stupid salary cap decisions, and pay their players at the very tip top of said players range.

I used to brag to my friends all the time about us having two of the highest paid RB's in the league on the same team.  Also really rubbed it in their faces when we gave Jake a contract that made no sense.

 

Oh, I forgot about the James Anderson and Jon Beason contracts.  Gosh, glad we are back to the good ole days when I can brag about highly paid JR keeps his guys.

Wow. Who is talking about a decade ago. Can we keep the discussion to the topic instead of going down bunny trails. This contract with Gano was a good one. Why not go back to the Rae Carruth contract while you are bringing up everything but the kitchen sink looking for something to complain about.

Yes,  but what you're leaving is out is that on average Kasay kicked longer field goals than most,  and the amount was more than double what Graham Gano has kicked.

4.25 a year isn’t bad Jesus, where was this same energy when we backed the truck full of money to Matt Kalils door. 

Had a broken foot in 2016 that hampered him, and had a much better 2017, fair deal for both sides

[Jon Snow]

Gano is the highest paid kicker in the league.  Let that sink in for a minute.

  Honestly. Can you show me a time where you DIDNT think whatever move was made was a good idea? Just one. Blind faith in every move the FO ever makes is unrealistic.

Seems like the same half dozen posters come in everything to complain. I can't imagine being loyal to a team that I do nothing but bitch and complain about all the time. Unless I did that about everything which then just makes it a lifestyle.

It's a fuging joke about you guys who love making our players "the highest paid in the league" like that's some cool thing to do or something.

Making an average kicker the highest or second highest paid K in the league is stupid no matter which way you turn it....even more stupid...letting go of a much cheaper option just under a year ago that was under contract.

I think he was already within the top 5 from the previous contract. His cap hit certainly was. He bet on himself and we didn't give him enough of a challenge in camp last year.
