Former LSU kicker Josh Jasper gets tryout with Saints
This should get Hartley's attention!
********************************************************* Former LSU placekicker Josh Jasper will try out with the New Orleans Saints next week at a four-day rookie mini-camp beginning May 9. Jasper is the most accurate placekicker in LSU history with an 83.9 success rate. "I'm excited about trying out with them; I'm happier to be here than somewhere else," said Jasper, who made a school-record 28 of 34 field goals and led the Tigers with 120 points as a senior in 2010. "I've been training non-stop and keeping in shape waiting for this opportunity. "I'm pretty sure they are bringing in a couple of other kickers. But I don't know who they are." The Saints aren't in dire need of help at kicker. Garrett Harley is the Saints kicker and is under contract for the next three seasons. He is scheduled to make $734,000 and has a salary cap figure for this season is $1.2 million. The Saints brought two kickers to training camp last season, Hartley and John Kasay, who replaced an injured Hartley the season before. Hartley won the job last year and made 18 of 22 field goal attempts. Jasper went to training camp with Tampa Bay in 2011 before being released and also tried out with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. In addition to a school record, Jasper's 83.9 career percentage is second in SEC history. He made 47 of 56 career attempts, which includes five of seven from beyond 50 yards. His longest field goal was 53 yards. Jasper also holds the school record for most field goals in a game when he made five against Mississippi State in 2010. Jasper doubled as the Tigers short-range punter with great success. He averaged 39.8 yards per kick and 25 of his 41 career kicks were downed inside the opponents' 20-yard line.

However, why isn't he already with a team?

Re: Former LSU kicker Josh Jasper gets tryout with Saints
If he can't make it as a kicker in Canada my hopes aren't too high. Still Hartley needs a fire under his ass. Hell I wish he would just go away, there is just nobody else out there.
