...its really too bad...hes prolly the only guy that could take that FG record from Prater...

66 yrds to win the game is just mind boggling.  That is completely amazing 

The Tucker FG should get much more attention

Must be very stressfull to be a successful kicker with that kind of pressure. The whole game or season may come down to one kick. Forget the word...how about stomach in knots.

If we lose a close game Sunday better chance than not it will be because of a missed FG or XP.

Ehhhh 1.2 million at 25. Maybe a littler more. I wouldn’t say that unless he invests extremely well. 

But he could sock it all away and earn on it without touching it, have a normal job with average salary and live normally, then retire very comfortably at 50-55…which is not bad at all.

Could be that’s what you meant.

Almost 3 mil

I think they just updated it...

...looks to be under $1.5M.  

Take out taxes, fees he may owe an agent, etc...will be lucky if he has $900k in the bank.

Not bad for 35 games and 73 attempts but he's gonna have to find work at some point -- maybe he gets another NFL shot.

Looks like he did OK at Houston wonder why they cut ties so quickly?

Probably should go work on his game in the lesser leagues to get the kinks out. Will get more opportunities since he has the leg talent just needs to work on consistency/mental aspects.

 

no hes damaged goods

 

no amount of practice can fix his mental fugs.  once he misses one, hes fuged

Part of being an NFL kicker is being able to have the ability to make those kicks consistently. If you can't, you just aren't an NFL kicker.

As a few of us consistently said, including a fan of his college team, he was never an NFL kicker.

There are a number of bad nfl kickers.

Only a handful of good NFL kicker and then the  rest of the field.

If Zane misses a kick this week maybe we sign him back.  lol

I know you’re probably kidding but it’s not the worst idea. We can’t find kickers that can consistently make extra points and that includes Slye. The difference between Joey and all the other crap kickers we’ve brought in is he helps us on kickoffs.

Tucker holds the record now.
