Trade Lutz to Denver for a 2024 draft pick.

Was never all that impressed. He made some long kicks but his short game is average.

I agree. Thing is, kickers can win or lose games for you. And as far as I’m concerned, having a stable and reliable kicker is key to winning close games. If both teams can’t win it in the trenches and they’re pretty evenly matched, the kicker may be the only thing going for you.

I don’t like the feeling of a kicker walking out there and feeling like someone punched me in the gut.

I certainly don’t get Morton Anderson vibes from Lutz. But he’s better than a lot of kickers in the league and I feel pretty confident when he walks out there.

I do miss the days of Anderson walking out and I could literally get up and go get a beer or take a leak because I knew that was pretty much automatic. Lol.

Who knows? Grupe might allow you a few more relaxed nature breaks. But I wouldn't count on it.
