st pete gogolak Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Interesting to take a quick look at kicker salaries. Tucker makes $6 million, Bass $5, Butker and Elliot $4. A few mediocre kickers make more than Bass. The real deal is the rookie on Dallas who makes 55 yarders like they are extra points. He makes less than $1. 30 years ago, Jimmy Johnson said that kickers are fungible. Not sure if that is true anymore. These days, you better have someone who you are comfortable putting out there to make 50+ yarders. If you do, you pay him. If you don’t, you don’t ( or shouldn’t). 1 2 Quote
Mikie2times Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Beane and company have expressed with acquisitions or contracts that they do in fact value the kicker role. Hauschka was not cheap either if my memory serves me right. Now getting the performance on that investment is different. 1 Quote

JJGauna Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Bass earned his contract at the time, he had a down year no doubt, hopefully he rebounds this year. 11 6 2 Quote

Gugny Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Von Miller made $3,429,000 per tackle this season. And you’re complaining about a kicker’s contract 6 1 2 Quote
Bob Jones Posted February 12 Posted February 12 So what? How much does Josh Allen make, and how many screw ups did he have this year? What about Stephon Diggs? I could go on and on. And I’m 100% positive that you could go around the league, and on each team, find guys who have had a down year and who are making way more than what “they are worth.” This topic is funny, it really is.

VaMilBill Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I think we need to move on from Bass while we can without actually hurting us in games. That means drafting a kicker. Take the cap hit. Can’t go into The season with a terrible kicker with the yips. You’re only as good as your last season IMO 3 Quote

I’m still curious if there’s more to the story here. It still doesn’t add up fully in my opinion. 2 1 Quote
jkeerie Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Butker should demand a huge raise! You could argue he is just as valuable as any TE, WR, or defensive player. And he should hold out until he gets it! Quote
