The problem with Rhys was that he couldn't have consistent accuracy to be a full time kicker in the league. You can have the strongest leg in the world, but if you can kick it between the uprights it won't keep you around long. John being gone and him around lead to the signing to everyone's crowd favorite Mare. Plus you can't take up 4 spots on your rosters just for a Long Snapper, Kick off kicker, field goal kicker, and punter. Its a numbers game.

I think the bigger reason you don't see KOS anymore is they moved the kickoff up. Used to, 30% touchback rate was the best in the league. Now the league median is slightly over 50%. It's just not worth it to have a kickoff specialist anymore.
