You'll do realize that Graham has a better career percentage than Prater right?

Graham cannot kick 60 yard field goals though. we're 1-3 if he's on waivers we have a good shot at getting him.

Loomis. Normally I make an effort not to hug members of the same sex but I do grant exceptions. Sign him!

Can Prater kick them outside of Denver? Not saying we need to keep Graham
but is Prater the answer?

Prater has a big leg, no doubt but I don't know if he can kick 60 yarders with any kind of regularity down at sea level.

I'll go look at Prater's log.

Road games for Prater in 13
@NYG-2/2 for FGs 40-49 yds and a long of 47
@Dal-3/3 for FGs 41-50+ yds with one FG 50 yds
@Ind-2/2 for FGs 30-49 yds with one a long of 47
@SD-0/0
@NE-1/1 for 27 yds
@KC-0/0
@Hou-3/3 for 30-49 yds with a long of 44
@Oak-2/2 for FGs 30-50+ yds with a long of 54

He actually missed one FG and it was at home against KC on SNF, however he did make a 54 yarder in that same game as well.

We may not need many 50-60 yards at home anyway. On the road he could be what we need and it will put less pressure on Drew to have to score all the time or get to the 20 yard line. If we can kick far, it helps our offense at least work to get to the 40 yard line at least. It's points and that is what we need.

Absolutely!
