The Cowboys are keeping things steady at kicker. The team is re-signing Kai Forbath, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network (Twitter link).
We heard on Monday that Dallas was interested in bringing back Forbath, but that they were also exploring reuniting free agent kicker Greg Zuerlein with their new special teams coordinator John Fassel. It’s unclear if that pursuit didn’t work out because Zuerlein will be headed back to the Rams or elsewhere, or if they simply decided to go with Forbath.
The journeyman kicker spent three games with the Cowboys down the stretch, making all ten of his field goal attempts and all ten of his extra points. Dallas got rid of their longtime kicker Dan Bailey two seasons ago to go with Brett Maher, but Maher struggled mightily last year. Eventually they cut Maher after a couple of meltdowns and went with Forbath, who also kicked for the Patriots in two games last year.
should have signed greg the leg…next up release jones our punter, he is one of the worst in the entire nfl!
Bad decision. Bring in Blankenship to win the job.
He’s gonna be tough to get…but I’m with you.
Dallas has also signed Maurice Canady
How’s Xanadu’s leg?
How the heck does Canady get autocorrected to Xanadu?
How come the YouTube kid Donald DeLa Hoye doesnt get any run in the NFL? I’ve seen him kick 50-60-even 70 yard FG’s. It must be consistency of something??
