We are paying 900k for Graham with only a 500k cap hit.

Let's go cheap on a player whose foot will influence half our games -minimum.

Your not going to get a cheaper cap hit, that's about league min. Graham's accuracy is better than most.

There's gotta be someone better than Graham out there.

Luckily for the Saints, there are a lot of good kickers available. That should help keep the market price lower.

Graham Gano, Steven Hauschka, Pat McAfee, Billy Cundiff, Nick Folk, Phil Dawson, Jay Feely, Dan Carpenter, Adam Vinatieri, Donnie Jones, David Akers, and Rian Lindell.

All unrestricted free agents and all got higher grades on PFF than Graham.

These past couple of seasons have given me PFGSS. It got so that was the time for me to deal with the previous beer or get a new one.... and way too frequently, a shot as well. Get us someone worthy of the Saints uni!
