[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 666257, member: 7261"] I was also referring to the dead cap associated with players currently on the roster. The $739.957 number is only for players who are currently not on the roster. The dead money has been spent, if a player isn't earning his upcoming non guaranteed money, he should be let go. Quick question on your stat. Of the remaining 2 of 7 kicks, how many of those were 50+ yards and/or blocked? I honestly don't know, just curious. Again, I think Crosby was slightly overpaid for reasons that aren't clear to us. They were obviously clearer to TT. I just don't think he was as overpaid as much $$ as some think, especially when you fully analyze his stats compared to the top 10 paid kickers a well as the rest of the league. Now if your argument is, you should never pay a Kicker big money, then stop reading, because then the Packers should probably never carry a kicker past his rookie contract and just take their chances on the principle that "just about anyone can do the job as good or better then Crosby". That is a different debate. Also, remember, the top 18 kickers in the league are all making $2M+/year. If you pick apart his stats to find negative things, then you need to do the same thing to find positive stats and how they fare against similarly paid players. I looked at Robbie Gould, Stephan Gostkowski, Justin Tucker and Sebastian Janikowski as well as a smattering of lower paid kickers. - 32/32 on PAT from the new distance. Only Gould and Janikowski had misses, but plenty of misses from lower paid kickers. League average was 94.2% . Crosby's lifetime PAT Ave. is 99.1% - on average, Crosby has been asked to kick from 50+ yards 5.78 times/year (double the amount of many kickers) - take out his abysmal 2012 season and 50+ yard kicks, his accuracy is 86%, which is similar to top paid kickers. - kicking in cold weather - Has kicked the six longest field goals in franchise history - Ave. Filed Goal % for league in 2015: 82.75 % Crosby: 85.7% - 16 consecutive field goals made in the postseason (#2 all time in NFL) So while I understand the argument Crosby may have been somewhat overpaid in people's eyes, I think the extra investment was worth hedging against the risks you take in trying to get a rookie to do the job. Just randomly pick some of the younger kickers as well as some mid priced vets stats and you will see what I am talking about. It's a total mixed cluster of results. Something I don't think TT wanted to risk happening, unsurety at an important position. Is Crosby money in the bank, 100% accurate, no, but what kicker is? [/QUOTE]
