What do we do at Place Kicker? | UPDATE: Matt Gay to Colts

[CGI_Ram]

Currently Matt Gay counts about $2.5M against the cap and that is projected to double to $5.1M as he enters free agency.

With the cap maneuvers we need to make, and the desire to add a FA or two… can we afford a premium kicker salary?

 

[CGI_Ram]

A good kicker is important… they can make or break the game on those last second kicks.

Touchbacks on kickoffs are important too.

Gay is great at all of it. Accurate and can kick long. He has a short memory on misses too. It’s hard to imagine him not coming back, but I worry he is out of our $ range.

I still haven’t voted.

FUCKING PAY THE MAN, MCSNEAD!!!!

DO IT! Eat that burger....

He's earned my trust. Pay him!

 

[Reddog99]

Pay him he's earned it.

 

[Mackeyser]

She me one just show McVay a picture of his own face when our kickers couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn… then watch the FO run to pay Gay.

This isn’t something to think about. Write the check.

When the kicking game sucks, money is no object to correct it.

KICKERS ARE PEOPLE TOO!!!! (sorry @Selassie I)

 

[OldSchool]

Clearly we need to use our 2nd rounder on a kicker

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I want them to keep Gay but wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t.

They found Gay after he was cut by Tampa. I figure that they think they will do it again.

However, if fixing the offense is the focus, aren’t field goals and extra points technically offense?

Once the Ramsey trade is complete, they will extend Matt Gay & Greg Gaines.

"Matt Gay nose how to kick!" Signed, Sam Ficken. Also, Sam Sloman is busy making a Hobit movie so he's not available.

 

[Dodgersrf]

Extend him.

Life without a decent kicker, is too stressful.

 

[CGI_Ram]

This poll is a landslide.

Hey Kevin Demoff / Tony Pastoors; the fans have spoken.

 

[snackdaddy]

I'd like to believe our offense is gonna be so good an elite kicker isn't necessary. But I don't see us all of a sudden turning it around to be a top scoring team so easily. I think Gay should be one of the priorities. A good kicker can be the difference in at least a couple games. And even more valuable should they make the playoffs.

 

[sjm1582002]

In a crap year he was one of the few bright spots.

Plus, he KO'd the return man in the Packer game and prevented a TD.

Pay the man and put it on my tab.

 

[Lunchbox]

I'd like to have him back but wouldn't want to break the bank to do it. I would offer an extension that gives him a slight bump (1 to 1.5 mil more) in annual salary, but not 5.1 mil.

His current salary puts him in the middle of the league, just slightly below Robbie Gould, Jake Elliot and Harrison Butker. That's pretty good company.

 

[BonifayRam]

FUCKING PAY THE MAN, MCSNEAD!!!!

When you are cutting all pro's to find a few million of extra cap funds I just do not see how they can pay the premium for a placekicker. How would they do that when so many more fat cap teams need placekickers like him? Pretty sure he will not take an IOU.

 

[So Ram]

With what? IOU?

Lol - I say draft the kicker from Michigan.No Brainer if he is there with a 6th rd pick?

—Circled that wagon once I saw how good he is.The Rams cut Brown to draft the leg.
—Brown beat his wife or something like that.Maybe that was where Zack Stacey learned it. - not a joking matter. In fact each of it is of its own.

Jones was released or signed with the Ravens.Les Snead(The Rams) did their famous getting The Best UDRFA(Johnny Hecker Oregon st.) to replace him.
The Rams already had the Long Snapper who became an All-Pro.
Tell Bones he doesn’t king snap either (lmao 4 straight extra point misses). They were Rams for 7 seasons together after that.
—Went from Pro Bowl to Pro bowlers. In fact the sad was those were the best Rams(mvp’s).

Who’s The Rams punter.Rams for a draft pick for a punter(thanks Bones) lmao. —so silly for the Fisher & Bones love & the HATE for Raheem Morris.

 

[So Ram]

Looking forward to seeing Chase Blackburn & the energy he brings to The Rams.
Last years coaching staff was really chill. Olsen & Robinson did work extra with Sko & Kupp respectively.
