Allen spanked Colledge and put Rodgers on his back 4 times.

I will say that the management decisions of this team do leave me scratching my head sometimes. The Packers make a kicker who consistently ranks in the bottom 5 in field goal accuracy and only notched 4 touchbacks all year the second highest paid kicker in the league, but they won't even extend an offer to an inconsistent, mediocre lineman who has never missed a game in his career? Strange.

Obviously, I am not arguing that the Packers should retain Colledge. I just fail to find consistency in their patterns of when and how they decide to extend offers to veterans.

I hope Crosby is not really the second highest paid kicker in the league. Maybe the contract looks bigger than it really is, and the guaranteed money is low.

I have read someplace, I will look again but didn't see it in a quick search, but that Packers have a reasonable out after one year for something like 500k in signing bonus.. in other words the contract terms aren't as "sweet" as the contract numbers reported unless it goes full term.

An upgrade would be nice at either position, but even in the worst case scenario, Colledge's replacement is not likely to be much worse than him. But at kicker, you are rolling the dice when you try to get a new one. You run the risk of getting one who's REALLY bad and who singlehandedly loses games.
