Could Panthers be trading for a kicker?

Is he any good?  It would be so ironic if we traded for him given that Gano is the reason Giants may trade him.

The fact that he can’t beat out Gano, tells me everything I need to know.

Once we poach a solid kicker off another team’s practice squad this year, the balance in the universe shall be restored.

Slye will be fine.

Gano was one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL last year.  He missed 1 fg, a 57 yarder.  He was 31 of 32.  No chance this guy would beat out Gano unless they go with younger/cheaper.

They definitely need to pull the trigger, Slye is not that guy.

Are we sure we can't lure John Kasay out of retirement?

Santoso is interesting.  He is HUGE stature-wise.  He's built like Gronk or Kelce , and he has plenty of experience kicking and punting.  

I looked up more on Verity too (the backup K from ECU with the Ravens), and he had a couple of college seasons over 80%, but I think was sub 70 in his senior year.  But, seems like overall he is more accurate than Slye has been.  He also apparently kicked a 63 yards in high school, so there's that.

I don't get the obsession with the 60+ yard FG's. We know Slye isn't likely to even hit any of those nor are most kickers in the NFL. The scenario where you are even having to attempt those kind of kicks means your offense couldn't get it done in some fashion.

Butker apparently couldn’t beat out Gano in our camp either in 2017. He must not have been very good either

That one was on Hurney.

Ravens have a history of finding good kickers. I think they discovered both Tucker and Gano.

We should take a hard look at Verity and trade a late pick if needed

Verity is the better play
