Garrett Hartley and John Kasay will have open competition for Saints’ kicker job
Saints’ kicker Garrett Hartley was one of the league’s premier kickers in 2010, before missing all of 2011 with injuries. Proving just how uncertain things are for kickers, Hartley will now have to beat John Kasay, who did a solid job in his absence last year, to keep his starting job and likely his roster spot, this according to special teams coordinator Greg McMahon.

Could this possibly be a money-saving measure because of the Brees situation?

It only costs us 1.75 million to keep him. |

We got lucky with Kasay. Very lucky. Hartley will be the man for years to come. He is money when he's healthy. Remember he still holds a Superbowl record for kicks over 40 yards.

But if we could some how get Janikowski from the Raiders.....I doubt we would ever have a 4 & out....dude tied dempsy's record & even when he's hurting is blasting 40-45yd FGs. LOL |
