| Akers, David |
PHI |
RFA |
Another surprising
young player on Philly (McNabb and Chad Lewis) who will
be back and very productive next year. |
| Andersen,
Morten |
ATL |
UFA |
Who else would want
his accurate but "short" leg now? |
| Bentley, Scott |
WAS |
RFA |
A lingering embarrassment
from the Norv Turner era. He's backup material only. |
| Carney, John |
SD |
UFA |
Remember when he
was God's gift to fantasy PKs? Ah, the good old days
- get rid of him! |
| Christie, Steve |
BUF |
UFA |
They need this cold-weather
warrior. Expect him to stay and be very productive in
the new offense. |
| Conway, Brett |
NYJ |
UFA |
This once bright
star is now only backup material. |
| Daluiso, Brad |
NYG |
UFA |
His usefulness has
been used up in my opinion. But the stubborn Giants
are loyal and stick with things that aren’t broken instead
of trying to improve them so I expect he'll stay. I
wouldn't even consider him on draft day though. |
| Dawson, Phil |
CLE |
RFA |
On this team, who
cares who the PK is. |
| Kight, Danny |
IND |
RFA |
Backup material only. |
| Lindsey, Steve |
DEN |
RFA |
He's strictly backup
material when somebody is hurt. |
| Longwell,
Ryan |
GB |
UFA |
I'm down on Longwell
and would ignore him. |
| Mare, Olinda |
MIA |
UFA |
Could follow ex-Dolphins
special teams coach to Jets and supplant Jeff Hall as
the PK. No matter where he goes he's a top 3 PK. |
| Murray, Eddie |
WAS |
UFA |
An even bigger lingering
embarrassment from the Norv Turner era - assume he died
this offseason. |
| Nedney, Joe |
CAR |
UFA |
Will he be back?
Too big a gamble for me right now. |
| Richey, Wade |
SF |
RFA |
Another young PK
who should make big bucks with the same team and produce
very well. |
| Seder, Tim |
DAL |
RFA |
Should get a nice
big contract from the Cowboys after a very impressive
rookie season - nice late round "steal". |
| Wilkins, Jeff |
STL |
UFA |
Probably more the
system than his skill, but he's a stud PK right now
- I'm sure he stays and continues to score tons of points. |
