    Here are 4 available FA kickers:
    Matt Bryant - Eagles
    Caleb Sturgis - Eagles
    Cairo Santis - Bears
    Kai Forbush - Vikes

    My choice at the first look would be Bryant.

    Ya meant Falcons for Bryant. But I agree, probably him.

    Wow figured that they'd resign him. He was decent, albeit not irreplaceable, but still

    Not sure how he hasn't been chosen as our main kicker yet, it certainly looked like he had won the kicking battles in preseason but then not chosen for some reason.

    Still Chandler Catanzaro did a lot better than expected and strange decision not to offer him a deal.

    Catanzaro was terrible before last year. Is it really wise to go to Tampa Bay when you finally got yourself back on track? Has DISASTER written on it........

    He wasn't...and being a losing Jet fan for so many years...we have had a decent ability to get the right kicker. Wish we had that kind of luck at qb.

    Bryant must be 50 by now but still always a good kicker. Hmmm..only 42.

    I don't know if this means anything, but I think he deserves another shot. Didn't he give Catanzaro a run for his money in TC last year?

    Bryant is old but probably the most powerful leg of the 4. Would go with him

    Forbath wouldn't be so bad either

    Can't blame him for upping sticks then and I guess we were never going to pay that much for him.

    He had a good season but for the $ there giving him I understand passing on him.

    Surprised Ross Martin never caught on anywhere else. Do we still have him?

    iirc the competition was close last season but Catanzaro had the better kickoffs so the job went to him.

    I'd much rather save our money for position players.

    Until whoever replaces him misses a key kick that costs the Jets a playoff spot! :eek:

    If and when we build the offensive to make a playoff run we should definitely consider investing in a proven, reliable kicker. Until then I'd rather see the money spent on building that offense.
