Kasay has been the kicker for the entire 15 years of existence. It’s going to be strange to see another kicker when Kasay is gone – whether that be next year or 3 years from now.

Darin Gantt is right on the money with this one. You can find an UDFA who can be a kickoff specialist and pay him $320k… Lloyd would make a min of $750k.

Don’t you understand? The world won’t exist in 2011! It doesn’t make a bit of difference, lol!

When the CBA is renegotiated it’s certainly going to contain a lower salary cap, and Big Cat is saving his money now so he can sign players in 2011 and beyond when the owners know what the new cap is going to be. There will be no scrambling to make room for roster spots because of teams signing guys to big contracts (like the Bears are doing).

In 2011 this team will be in a good spot because we will have cap space to work with.

If there’s a work stoppage teams can cut players again like 2010 with no repercussions, so if that was the case and Richardson thought it would happen then I think he’d retain these players and cut them next offseason.

This shows me that the discussions may be closer to a resolution than we think. I believe the union will relent and allow for a slight reduction in the cap (5-10%) in exchange for some concessions (allowing players to be franchised once?).

If that’s the case and Richardson believes an agreement is close it makes more sense to lose a lot of these players now to be financially sound for the 2011 season and beyond.

but I’m sure we can find a big leg to boom it into the endzone

They’re easy to get when all they have to do is hit the endzone instead of splitting the uprights. I like your “epic suckage of suck”.
