The Huddle thinks every player or coach that makes a mistake should be cut immediately because a future Hall of Famer is sitting on their couch waiting to come play for the Panthers on a "team friendly" deal...lol.  

Gano has been one of the most accurate kickers on the NFL for the past two years until recently and he clearly has a case of the yips.  This happens to most kickers at some point in their career and he'll either get past it or be without a job.

We're well past "one mistake" with Gano.

Move is obviously terrible in hindsight, but wasn't it reported that Butker wasn't exactly impressing in camp? I thought I remember him struggling. 

I do remember Gano having a better camp but then Butker had the much better preseason.  Money should have overruled the little bit Gano might have been ahead at the time, but it does look much worse in hindsight now.

If you went solely by what you saw in practice, Jake Delhomme probably never would have started.

Gano was a known quantity. It would have made more sense to give Butker all the preseason kicking duties to see what you had in him 

But ya know, Rivera and veterans...

Another reminder of the Butker blunder.

I pounded the drum for butker so hard, tbf it was like a 70-30 split between wanting him and keeping gano. If the camp battle is a toss up, just go with the younger guy who has a dirt cheap salary, would be paying butker less in three years than gano in one. Just dumb poo and a good reason why Marty Hurney needs to go. Ill commend his effort this time around but we need a change.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      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.
