Any numbers out there on this deal? It looks like Carolina just paid Olindo Mare a fortune ($12M over 4 years with a $4M signing bonus).

5 years, 14.75 million, which seems a bit high to me, but what do i know? Its probably a back loaded deal with little chance he will see year 5, more likely a 4 year ~10 mill contract. $3 million signing bonus.

Crosby is now the second highest paid kicker in the league. Seabass over in Oakland is the only one making more. He signed a 4 year, 16 million dollar deal last year.

The key number is $3M guaranteed, not the 5 years, the Packers are protecting themselves based on his average performance kicking field goals and sub-standard performance kicking "game winning" field goals. Had he not been consistently "wide to the right" that year McCarthy never would have had a sub 500 record on the books. If he continues to miss in winning situations they can cut him at any time and still be out only $3M. The years on the contract only give them the ability to pro rate for salary cap purposes.

Interesting comment. I would be curious to see some research to back it up.

That puts the team from 6 wins, to 8 and 8 is half of 16, thus .500 record. I think?

Right, and you can't put a blocked kick on the kicker unless it's an absolute line-drive. The missed kick against the Vikings was painful though and very intense and dramatic. My brother and I were at the game and had ulcers by the end of it.

Mason Crosby's no Ryan Longwell...


Mason Crosby vs. Ryan Longwell 
Longwell was a pretty good kicker during his nine years in Green Bay, but he’s become even better since leaving the team in 2006. His field goal percentage has increased in each of the past four seasons. In 2010, he made a career-high 94 percent of his kicks (17 of 18) and has a career percentage of 83.5.

Crosby, on the other hand, has been fairly mediocre since coming to the Packers in 2007. His field goal percentage decreased each of his first three seasons with the Packers, resulting in a below-average 75 percent in 2009, before he rebounded to hit 78.6 percent of his kicks in 2010. In his career, Crosby has made 78.1 percent of his kicks.

Which it was. It was a terrible kick. A worm-burner. And actually there are plenty of blocked kicks (maybe even most of them) that are the kicker's fault.
