...its really too bad...hes prolly the only guy that could take that FG record from Prater...

66 yrds to win the game is just mind boggling.  That is completely amazing 

The Tucker FG should get much more attention

Ehhhh 1.2 million at 25. Maybe a littler more. I wouldn’t say that unless he invests extremely well. 

But he could sock it all away and earn on it without touching it, have a normal job with average salary and live normally, then retire very comfortably at 50-55…which is not bad at all.

Could be that’s what you meant.

Almost 3 mil

I think they just updated it...

...looks to be under $1.5M.  

Take out taxes, fees he may owe an agent, etc...will be lucky if he has $900k in the bank.

Not bad for 35 games and 73 attempts but he's gonna have to find work at some point -- maybe he gets another NFL shot.

Looks like he did OK at Houston wonder why they cut ties so quickly?

Probably should go work on his game in the lesser leagues to get the kinks out. Will get more opportunities since he has the leg talent just needs to work on consistency/mental aspects.

 

no hes damaged goods

 

no amount of practice can fix his mental fugs.  once he misses one, hes fuged

Must be very stressfull to be a successful kicker with that kind of pressure. The whole game or season may come down to one kick. Forget the word...how about stomach in knots.

Part of being an NFL kicker is being able to have the ability to make those kicks consistently. If you can't, you just aren't an NFL kicker.

As a few of us consistently said, including a fan of his college team, he was never an NFL kicker.

There are a number of bad nfl kickers.

Only a handful of good NFL kicker and then the  rest of the field.

If Zane misses a kick this week maybe we sign him back.  lol

I know you’re probably kidding but it’s not the worst idea. We can’t find kickers that can consistently make extra points and that includes Slye. The difference between Joey and all the other crap kickers we’ve brought in is he helps us on kickoffs.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
