    Kicker on the market that may show up in G.B.

    We may see this kid (Rayner) in G.B. before all is said and done.

    From NFL.com:

    FOR KICKS
    When the Colts signed free-agent kicker Adam Vinatieri, it gave Indianapolis the freedom to give the boot to its other two kickers, Jose Cortez and Dave Rayner. Finally, Indianapolis did.

    The team terminated Cortez's contract, and it waived Rayner, the former 2005 seventh-round draft choice from Michigan State who asked for his release the day the Colts signed Vinatieri. Cortez is free to sign with another team; the waivers-claiming deadline for Rayner is 4 p.m. ET on April 6.

    With the various teams that still need kickers -- Atlanta, New England, New Orleans, Green Bay, Miami -- it is expected that Rayner will be claimed on waivers. The minimum salary for a second-year player like Rayner is $385,000, which means it would be economically feasible and highly attractive for another team to claim him. Rayner had 82 kickoffs last season, so he has experience in that area.
    Life is a puzzle. Every day you get up and pick up the pieces from the day before.
    and
    You can't keep idiots from being idiots. You can only hope to contain them.
    and
    Idiots DO exist. I've seen them.

      That gives all the teams that need a kicker two days to hype him until the fans go nuts over him and the fans of 4 teams will be po'ed that they didn't claim him. Well, there's always Cortez.

        The future of the franchise depends upon TT picking up Rayner.

          Hey, I'd like to see them pick him up. It couldn't hurt.

            I say bring in as many fa kickers as possible. Let em duke it out. It would be neat if they could take the Don Hutson center and make it one huge freezer and set up large fans...then have those guys kick. That will be the true conditions these guys will kick in. Cold and wind. Or just send them to antartica to train.
