If you notice, I never made a connection between our kicking situation in the 90s/00s and John Hall's concurrent successes. I referred to then and the *current* JH.
It's not like we're talking $5million/yr here. His salary for 2006 & 2007 is $1.5mill. That's chump change. What would we save by cutting him? After signing another kicker, only about $.5mill. So it boils down to, would you rather save a half million and get a young kicker, or risk a half million on a known kicker who has had some injury issues? I'll take John Hall any day of the week on that one.
