Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 862579">I mentioned that only because you raised the possibility of signing him to a 1 year contract with no strings attached.  It could be 2 years with minimal strings.  We see marginal positional vets signed all the time to 2 year deals with small signing bonues as a gesture of good faith together with a little more up front cash. For me, the bottom line is that Crosby, like all but a few kickers, yo-yo's from year to year.  Coming off a 90+% year, his stock is likely to be high with an equally strong likelihood he will not repeat that performance and earn that pay.  That looks like a buy high, sell low proposition.I was a proponent last season of keeping him.  I've come to reevaluate the importance of special teams other than coverage teams, kickers included, in light of a variety of factors.  I would not pay him what would normally be associated with a 90+% kicker.  I am less confident Gutekunst would agree.Somebody suggested Crosby should take a loyalty discount given how the team stuck with him when they shouldn't have.  I would not hold my breath on that either.</blockquote>
