David Akers Anyone?
 

He struggled last year a bit. But has shown that he can produce at times. Not sure if he is an upgrade but has a stronger leg than Gaham. Over the 80% mark for his career. Up and down the last few years though.

Just an idea.

I like him more than Shayne Graham. Sorry, but that project failed IMO. He just doesn't seem to have the leg anymore...

Re: David Akers Anyone?
 

He's been more down than up the last few years. His time in the league will expire soon imo.

Saints had one like Akers, his name was Hartley!

I want to watch the entire game and not turn away when a field goal is attempted like I did with Hartley.

I would rathee bring in some young kickers and look at them.

What more could you ask for?

Re: David Akers Anyone?
 

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

Re: David Akers Anyone?
 

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.

Re: David Akers Anyone?
 

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

Re: David Akers Anyone?
 

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!
