I'd like to know the details of that contract. Kasay made this season so easy to watch.
Lest me not forget after a superb 2009 season, in 2010 it was a kick by kick heart attack. Lets not forget the missed extra points. Possibly could be Hartley as kicker and Kasay as kicking coach. If Hartley misses 1 field goal within 50 or 1 extra point, we can deactivate him and insert Kasay. |

He signed the new 5-year contract in 2010, which was worth $10.3M with a signing bonus of $3M with an average yearly salary of $2.1M.
His cap hit for next season is $1.7M and with that figure he is cheaper than what at least Carolina were paying Kasay when he was with them, but Kasay's current contract was undisclosed, so I don't know what the Saints were paying him. |

The Saints FO probably knew there were only a few FA quality kickers left and pulled the trigger putting Hartley on IR so they could sign Kasay. |

Hartley stills owns a Superbowl record for kicks over 40 in a Superbowl.........he might get a long look at camp.
Kasay made this season more viewer friendly with fewer heart attacks. As a veteran he looks the part. |

In the beginning of the Payton era there were always problems with the kickers --> looks pointedly in the direction of special teams coach Greg McMahon <--- and Hartley was supposed to be the solution to that, hand-picked to solve the kicking woes once and for all. Actually, even before Payton got here the Saints kickers were a mess. Like him or not, Hartley IS the intended solution to that. I think it's going to be Hartley (with Kasay on speed dial), and my advice is for people to stop stressing out about it -- the guy is numerically a very reliable kicker. People REALLY need to let that one Falcons game go -- put it in the rearview mirror. It's been talked about a million times, there were TONS of people at fault in that game, it should never have even been in overtime in the first place...Ivory fumbled, Drew threw a really dumb INT, Pierre Thomas broke his freaking ankle..it was not just the one kick that lost it.

I mean...
Who misses a season because he hurt himself kicking a field goal?????? Dempsey lost half his foot and showed up next week and kicked a 63 yarder for Christ's sake!!! At least I think that's how it went... LOL Alaska |

I can honestly say I didnt cringe nearly as much this year in FG situations as I did last year in the same situations with Hartley.
