Grupe is on the minimum salary for a Rookie Kicker. As an Undrafted Rookie Free Agent he didn't cost the Saints anything to acquire. In fact, because they kept him they were able to gain a 7th round draft pick by trading Lutz.
Please name that OTHER GUYthat will come in at the same salary as Grupe and be counted on to do better.
We have about 4 million in cap space... I don't understand why you think we HAVE to get a kicker for what Grupe is playing for....? BTW We took a 2.4 million dollar cap hit by trading Lutz....
