if we signed kasey we have a solid kicker. hartley was coming into his own but boy is he snake bit from day one. we will be okay, we'd rather our own in there but we have 1 of the best not a martini dramatica.

As did I.:lolup:

Injury prone and misses a lot of easy clutch kicks. If I'm the Saints, I'd start looking for another young kicker.

Jasper out of LSU was cut by Tampa...

He would be a really nice addition to the practice squad.

He's been suspended. He's been benched. He's been hurt. He's been money in the playoffs and the Super Bowl. With the inactive rules in the NFL, he or that 5th safety, or that extra OLineman, or that extra LB, or that 6th WR would not be active anyway. Keep the young kicker on the 53, unless there's a rash of injuries, and give him a shot to kick this season.

Some Saints "fans" tend to throw anyone under the bus on a weekly basis.

They aren't loyal fans. That must really suck.

Hartley is NOT going to be IRed, unless the injury is worse than reported, and he would be out most of the season anyway. 6-8 weeks still puts him maybe back for week 7 or 8 and, if so, they can then cut Kasay. I think they will live with two placekickers on the roster until mid-season.

Hartley signed a long-term deal before the lockout started; the Saints are not just going to cut him loose.
