He’s the highest paid kicker from free agency. Which changes every year because the cap keeps going up. That’s what FA does, reset the salaries every year or two.
One of the reasons we’ve missed the playoffs the past two of three seasons is directly attributable to kicking.
A record number of games are being decided by the kicker at the end. It’s a very important position in today’s NFL.
Finally, just because they improved this position doesn’t mean they don’t address others. And they might still use a vet QB to start even if they draft a rookie in order to be competitive.
