Traded for a kicker and it wasn't Jose Borregales.

I'm out. Clock is ticking on Fitterer and Rhule.

What makes u think Bucs want to trade him? Now that Succop just got put on Covid list just saying.

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...

This kid isn’t some scrub from all accounts, Rappport reported that a few teams have checked in on him with the Giants, and Joe Judge gave him very high praise saying he deserves to be one of the 32 kickers in the game.  Judge wouldn’t go out on a limb like that for some scrub..I live in NJ I see plenty of Giants chatter..Give the kid a chance you may be surprised and shocked at how cheap we got him.

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.

That's fair, but it could also fit Slye or anyone else we sign. I'd like a proven solid veteran at kicker. Because for every Akers or Tucker that we give a chance out of the nobodies, there are dozens of guys who will lose us games. At this point I'm no more confident about this guy than I am about Slye.

I hope you're right.

If he gets cut, we give up nothing.

No I meant when giants cut him we could have tried to get him and give nothing up?

We gave up a pick we traded for anyway.

If you decide the guy is good enough, you secure him rather than hoping he picks you once he's cut.

I got no issue with it.

I'm partial to my nickname. Scott Finesserer.

That’s good, too.  Thankfully his name is so unique that it can be used in as many ways as our beautiful, collective minds can muster

Slye could very easily wind up resurrecting his career somewhere else. It's a pretty common journey for an NFL kicker.

Heck, I hope he does.

I'm guessing Rob Schneider plays him in the movie

Rob Schneider on stilts maybe…he’s 14 inches shorter than this dude.

If we keep Slye for kickoff specialist I’m going to be PISSED!!!!!
