Honestly I think Webb could probably be a better kicker.

Corry doesn't have any inside information. He does articles for CBS based on the financial aspect of the NFL and that is purely what he is basing this on.

Graham Gano, K, Panthers

• 2017 salary cap number: $4 million
• 2017 compensation: $3.25 million
• 2017 dead money: $800,000
• 2017 salary cap savings: $3.2 million

Gano making 78.9 percent of his field goal attempts in 2016, which ranked 25th in the NFL, prompted the Panthers to use a seventh-round pick on Harrison Butker. Gano has made three of his four preseason field goal attempts (his lone miss being from 50 yards out) and all five extra points tries, while Butker is 2 for 2 both on field goal and extra point attempts, including a 51-yard field goal. Panthers head coach Ron Rivera called the kicker competition a dead heat heading into the preseason finale against the Steelers, but the financial equation heavily favors Butker. His entire four-year contract is slightly over $700,000 less than Gano's $3.2 million 2017 base salary.

This is nothing more than the same speculation huddlers are making. I wouldn't get your hopes up(or down I guess) based on this.

Bring in Aguayo, Haden, Revis, and TO.

Everyone can see the obvious.  Hopefully Marty and RR can join the club.

I mean it makes sense. If the competition is close to even, why not save a few mill and drop the dead weight?

Nothing on that link elaborating. I wonder what is basis is.  Ive argued the logic of why I think he will be kept but I don't have much trust in either guy so it makes little difference to me.

I don't understand why anyone would be happy to see Gano out, I have more faith in our kicking game going into this season with him than I would with an unproven rookie.  Gano has missed big kicks, but he's made big kicks too.  Relying on a rookie kicker going into the year seems very risky, if he starts blowing kicks then we bring someone else in and it turns into one of those bad unsettled K position situations.

[PantherJD]

If I had faith in Gano, I would be in favor of keeping him no matter the price tag.  The truth is that when he lines up from 45+ out, it's a crapshoot as to whether he'll hit it or not.  If it's 50+, I'm assuming a miss.  Seriously, you can get those numbers from a rookie who's younger and cheaper.  Yeah, it's probably a bigger risk to go with the unproven rookie, but I'll take the unknown over the known, which isn't anything special.  Even if the rookie ends up failing miserably, there is someone out there doing what Gano does for cheaper.

Ganonomo?

How are Butkers kick offs. I really do worry about him being terrible. It is possible you know.
