So did we trade for a guy that might get cut?

If he gets cut, we give up nothing.

If you are upset that the Panthers have identified an easy fix issue and are trying to fix said issue then I can’t help you.

(left tackle is not an easy fix so I’ll save you the time)

I’m excited to see what Santoso’s got.

If Santoso's kickoffs go into the endzone and he makes a PAT and/or FG then Slye's days are over.

At least the Fiddler is trying and not standing pat.

The Fiddler might be the best nickname I’ve seen for Fitty Cent. Playing draft picks like a beautiful instrument.  
 

Glad we’re making moves, Hurney would be all set for the season and sit on his hands.  Is he better than Slye?  Who knows, but Slye isn’t cutting it as a starter right now.

The crazy weather seemed to affect this year's crop of kickers. Seems to be slim pickings out there.

Slye may get by just because of this.

Kickers don’t exactly get traded for high picks, a 7th is par for the course.

I'm guessing Rob Schneider plays him in the movie

Oh sh@t he Rhule just found another player that can play multiple positions kicker, LB and FB.

I'd rather not.

The best outcome for this trade would be his being good enough to be worth keeping.

The most likely outcome outside of sticking with Joey is that he wins the job initially, gets a shot the first few games but at some point during the season starts stinking it up which shows why MN didn't want him kicking FGs and he hasn't gotten a shot in the NFL before. Then we lose the pick and still have sh*tty kicking.

 

I hope he's just great but this isn't a very inspiring trade. He's just some scrub nobody, and we have no real reason to believe that he'll be any better than Slye at this point...

Who knew that Santoso used to be a punter?

I'm partial to my nickname. Scott Finesserer.

That description fits a lot of young kickers before they hit their stride.

We had David Akers as an undrafted free agent but let him go. He went on to have a long and very good career with the Eagles.
