[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 666146, member: 7261"] It's a big issue with any position that you end up paying top positional money for, not just kicker. How many teams have gotten stung by this principle at just the QB position alone? Has Cobb been worth what he got paid? Hate to rehash the Crosby signing and I am not saying that Mason wasn't over-paid. Of course we could have signed an UDFA and saved a boat load of money, but at what cost in performance or games? What can one lost game potentially cost a team in the standings or in revenue? To me, if Crosby is responsible for winning just one extra game in a season, it was money well spent. Conversely, it could be said if he loses a game, it was money poorly spent. I think MM and TT were banking on the first scenario being more likely. IMO his body of work over the last 3 years has been consistent enough, along with his age (not too old by Kicker standards), for the Packers to structure a deal in this way and not worry too much about the crap he went through in 2012 happening again. Could it happen again? Sure, but it can happen with any kicker. For some he may have been overpaid, but I don't see any indications that at the end of this contract, fans are going to look back and think his contract was a complete waste. [/QUOTE]
