No new kicker yet.........

Something that I kind of forgot about with all the frustrations about the Saints. It may not be that easy to just sign another kicker and release Mare. If Mare is released right now, he could have a major grievance against the Saints because he is injured. Maybe putting him on IR is an option, but he is not really that injured to be placed on IR. Another option is to carry two kickers, then that would hurt other areas since a player would have to be released. So I guess these issues could be why the Saints have not signed someone yet. They are clearly fed up with Mare, just perhaps no simple solution right now in dealing with the problem.
