Edit : Just saw a rumor that he's one that the Redskins are trying out? Would be awesome.
completely off my radar, if he can improve upon 2 touchbacks on 9 kickoffs, welcome aboard.

Sold! This is not our super bowl run year so lets try and solve the kicker problem long term instead of settling for a retread. If we were a contender I would be more in favor of a guy like Brown.

Re: Should Billy Cundiff still be cut!

Woot! I hope Kai gets the job.. Young stud, who could be a beast.

As a junior in 2009, he connected on another three field goals from 50 yards or more and has now made 9 of 12 tries from that length. Competing with Leigh Tiffin of Alabama and Blair Walsh of Georgia, Forbath was named the winner of the 2009 Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award.

Forbath attended the University of California, Los Angeles, where he played for the UCLA Bruins football team from 2006 to 2010. After redshirting his initial year at UCLA, Forbath made 25 of 30 field goals and all 30 points after touchdowns (PATs) for a team-high 105 points in 2007. He became the first UCLA player to record five field goals of at least 50 yards in a season, including a freshman-best 54-yarder versus Oregon. In his sophomore year, Forbath received first-team All-Pacific-10 honors after making 19 of 22 field goals on the season, including his last 13 straight.

After being projected as the second-best kicker in the 2011 NFL Draft, Forbath was not selected. However, on August 2, 2011, he signed with the Dallas Cowboys as a rookie free agent, and was subsequently placed on the reserve/non-football injury list. He was waived on April 16, 2012

Re: Should Billy Cundiff still be cut!

You cut the SOB today and bring back Gano. I don't care, Cundiff's kickoffs are not worth the 30 yard misses.

Re: Should Billy Cundiff still be cut!

Another name I forgot is out there is Ryan Longwell. He'd be worth a try. Also John Kasay is accurate, just doesn't have the long distance kick/kickoffs anymore.
