Unfortunately, he's not going to be. They're going to give him the soft landing of allowing his contract to expire, which means no accountability for the unmitigated disaster that his six years has been. What we should get is Woody announcing the firing of Douglas Al Davis style, using an overhead projector to explain why it was done "for cause". That would be the highlight of the 2024 season.
I don't even think it is financial benefit, more that he thought he could save a roster spot for someone else and have these kickers elevated from PS just for the games. He actually spent slightly more by having multiple kickers, but again the amounts are minor. It's almost as if no lesson was learned about importance of a good kicker when we lost 3 games because of a kicker, lost one who went on the lead the League, etc... Like you said, he decided to game the system over some pathetic scrub at the end of the bench and got fucked.
He was even drafted last year and promptly given up on after year 1. There's a real connection here. Sent from my genius mind.
There are other situations I would fine funnier. Meyers, yes. Seibert had a small stretch of good games in Washington before getting hurt. Even this Shrader, who we shrugged our shoulders over a week ago, or even made fun of the team for using Sunday, now is a source of angst and criticism because the Chiefs nabbed him. I agree it looked like he had a strong leg, but c'mon. I think we're all just grouchy over the clusterfuck of a season, Again.
I think their mindset is that all they needed to do was let Greg the Leg get his head right. The Jets IR'd him but he basically says here it's "just not good kicking", "gotta hit a better ball". Not saying anything about any sort of injury. That's the yips, so the Jets basically IR'd him to get his head right. It's probably also why they let Shrader go, they would have only held onto him for another game or 2 anyway. I don't expect things to change, really.
