how many years do we have left on his contract? We need to sign him to a long term deal now before he gets too expensive IMO.
He's a kicker. He's red hot now but inevitably hes gonna come back down to Earth. If it ever gets to the point where he's demanding too much money just sign another one. Just my opinion anyways.
If I know Jets karma he will make every kick until the big one to put us in the playoffs, or championship game, or super bowl...then he'll miss
I'm pretty sure that he's on a 1 year contract. But like others say, kickers are hot one day, then complete garbage the next. Nick has done a great job so far, but let's finish off the season before anything. If he wants top money after the season, let him walk, chances are, he doesn't do this again.
I Never liked Folk. When we signed him All I could remember was watching him struggle in Dallas horribly. Once upon a time I was so Anti-Patriot That I was Mad we signed Curtis Martin.
I'm amazed this hasn't been merged yet. Anyway, contracts are no big deal to kickers. It's not like he's going to hold out for 16 million.
Rex wont even bother to learn the first name of the victim idzik brings in to 'compete' with folk next year
i just don't like the idea of losing a good kicker because so many of our games hinge on kicking a field goal. Important ones too. If we had a good kicker instead of Doug Brien...
In defense of Brien...very few people made kicks from those distance from Heinz field back then, especially in those conditions, and into a late 4th QT and OT game where the field was just chewed up beyond belief.
See Gary Anderson, Minnesota Vikings 1998. He was 35 for 35 during the season but when he had a chipshot to clinch NFC Championship game......hello Super Bowl Atlanta Falcons This is why when were getting blown out by the Bengals I wanted Folk to miss a FG and get it out of the way.
If Folk keeps kicking like he has been Idzik will have to give him a $25/game raise, which is a lot for a kicker
I was kidding, you just brought back bad memories that's all. That game, we didn't even attempt to get closer for a better FG shot.
No. He's on a great streak right now but would you not be sobered up on him if he went like 4 for his next 8? Kickers should almost be treated like fantasy team players. There's always someone to go out and get. Hell, the last two solid kickers the Jets had were other team's cast aways (Folk/Feely).
