We could have franchised the guy therefore limiting the term to a one year deal. If he regresses, we cut and move on. Only costs us some cap space in a year where we had a shitload of it.
Mac fucked up not doing so IMHO.
Cap space can carry over. I dont think paying Myers like a top-5 kicker when the Jets had a proven track record of finding kickers off the scrap heap was prudent financially. He was starting to regress at the end of the year, too.
Not having Myers hasnt hurt us at all yet. Odds are we will likely upgrade from Bertolet.
Where we fucked up was by having only one kicker in training camp.
