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?

It says their Kicker Fairbairn was returing, maybe he was just a placeholder until then.

Remind me to never hire some of you guys to be my financial advisors.  If you think you can skate by for 50 years by having a few million in the bank...you really haven't looked at retiring yet.  He will 100% have to have a full time job or be broke before his pension kicks in.  Some of y'all really needs to look at how much money you need to retire comfortably at 60, let alone at 25. LOL.

Olindo Mare was known as one of the more steady kickers in the league when we signed him but he's now our biggest choker. You just never know with the position there is such a heavy mental burden to it any guy save for Adam Vinatieri has gone through the struggles to some degree.

Whatever! We drafted the best kicker in the league now a few years back. He produced for us in preseason and we stuck him on the practice squad like that could stop anything. Now he is routinely banging in winners while we search for answers. Teams kill me with this crap. You know as a GM how important it is to be able to send someone in with no worries from 50 in and highly  accurate from 50 out. Yet you treat it as a backup receiver or linebacker and this is where you end up. There were a number of scrubs they could have cut to keep Butker!

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
