This coaching staff and front office has shown through the years that they have not been able to evaluate, draft or free agency, several positions. Kicker has been a thorn in our side for years. Garrett Hartley was the closet thing we've found to a stable kicker in quite some time. Now we cut two veterans and sign a completely unproven rookie we had under contract on our practice squad already. Maybe there were rumblings of another team trying to sign him. I honestly doubt that as he had just been released and that team could have offered him a contract then. We cut a kicker in Barth that went 23 of 28 last year and for most of his career has been fairly reliable. He was on the street because Tampa decided it needed to spend a second round pick on a kicker. We keep Kai Forbath over Barth and then a couple days later cut him for a rookie? I hope I'm wrong, but I think we are tossing darts in the air and hoping one of them sticks.
I want to see what happens if and when he misses a couple kicks? Do we cut him and sign back Forbath? Hopefully we don't get to that, but history has shown us most rookies struggle a bit, kickers are no different.
