There will come a time when keeping Kasay is a luxury. That time could be nest year. I hate to see him go, when ever he does. I love Kasay....for who is is, how good he is, and that he is an original Panther. The extra roster spot will be too pricey at some point.

Smitty will get a ring...as a Panther.

Whats his range now? can we do better?

He had one of his longest fg's ever this year. If his range has decreased, it hasn't decreased by much. And his accuracy is still great. IMO, fg kicker is one of most important positions on the field, second only to QB. Kasay has been a great one for us, and we were lucky to have him. I hope we can find a way to keep him kicking fg's next year without using a roster spot, but its probably time to move on. Maybe we should use one of our draft picks for a placekicker.

Why would the new HC throw Kasay out the Door!!! Kasay is one of the most solid Clutch kickers in the league right now at the age of 41. Kasay can very easy kick 52 yarder with no problem and make it. When Kasay starts missing kicks and can't hit those 50+ ones any more then it is time look for a new guy. Kickers are a dime a dozen out there right now. But for now Kasay is staying and not going no where.

I don't know why anyone would want a new kicker who's gonna make rookie mistakes. Kasay knows how to put points on the board.

This... also if you look around the league this year Kicking has been poo at best! I mean everyone is missing all kind of field goals, extra points like never before (besides a select few).... I see no need for him to go.

This may all be moot if the roster numbers get increased in the CBA negotiations (18 game schedule). In the interim, maybe you draft a new kicker to replace Lloyd - and he becomes kasay's replacement down the road? We've used a roster spot to keep both for couple years now - I see it continuing till Kasay retires. He is a stabilizig influence on the team and a leader (which we need a few right now).

When the time does finally come to replace Kasay. I think you need to do what the Panthers did with Brad Hoover/Fiammeta. In his final season, draft a rookie to learn under him for a season. Then when he moves on, the Panthers have a player with tons of potential to step up and make plays, one who has learned under one of the best. The new K will still make mistakes, but to learn under one of the best for your first season would only make him reach his potential quicker.

      Bust alert - Eight NFL players running out of time to prove themselves entering 2026 season

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
