Gano might not kick all preseason

[Black&BlueBubba]

RR said today that Slye would definitely kick Thursday. Not sure yet about Gano.  Wtf. Gano wasn’t kicking at practice yesterday I think.   If Gano hasn’t kicked all preseason we are not gonna cut Slye.  

Could Gano be going to IR?   That means we will have to keep 2 guys on the original 53 and then move Gano 24 hrs later. 

Im starting to really question whether Gano would even make it through the season.  

Would we outright cut him?

If Gano can't go by week 1, they will have to IR him and hope he is ready week 9

Certainly strange at this point.  Gano just might indeed be heading for IR.

It’s pretty bad when your kicker is hurt every year.  Wtf,  he’s a kicker.

So not kicking again today tells me he is not going to play Thursday.  And IR is coming.

Man, why didn’t we just keep Butker. Piles of cap space saved and a K not hurt in 3 of 4 seasons.

And it's not like it was "hindsight is 20-20" either. If you go back and read threads about it at the time, I would say a majority of us wanted us to keep Butker and cut Gano.

But now we are paying him top kicker money to miss clutch kicks/XPs and is always hurt. Sad.

I am ready to part ways with Gano. Stats may say he is good but when it comes to kicking a game winning field goal or heck, even a PAT, I don’t trust him.  Give Slye the chance.

We dont really gain anything cap wise by cutting him. Stash em on IR, if Slye is serviceable we wont even have to bring him back. If he's a disaster then we will have to hope Gano gets Healthy. Obviously cut him after this season. He has no GTD money after this year.

Good point, I agree!

He has 3M in dead money after this year.

IR looks like the best call. If Sly chokes we can reactivate him and if not we can cut him in the offseason. The biggest negative with IRing a kicker is we have to carry him on the roster for a day which is a spot that should go to a guy we don't want to expose to other teams. I guess we could IR him now and see if another team makes a move on him?
