You say this, but you still have yet to provide any counter argument as to why a kicker traded for a seventh is not a fair price or the going rate for the position.
You claimed Payton picked our pocket, now it's a cost cutting measure, I think you're just opposed to change. Probably because it makes you anxious (which I get as a fan), but the team makes calls like these every day. If you're going to second guess them (also your right) you need a more compelling argument IMO to get people to agree with you.
