Factoid: Greg Zuerlein
I see Robert Saleh is grumbling about Greg Zuerlein missing a field goal and an extra point in New York’s opener, and about being second-guessed for the decision to keep Zuerlein over Eddy Pineiro. But Saleh really has nobody to blame but himself. more »

Cowboys to roll with rookie kicker in 2022?
After releasing veteran kicker GREG ZUERLEIN during the offseason, the only kicker currently on the Dallas Cowboys roster is undrafted rookie JONATHAN GARIBAY. Zuerlein missed six field goals and six extra… More points last season, so the Cowboys understandably moved on. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that Garibay is “off to a good start”, although the team could bring in competition at some point. Garibay made the longest field goal in the FBS last season, kicking a 62-yarder to win the game for Texas Tech against Iowa State. Less

Cowboys release TE Jarwin, kicker Zuerlein
The Dallas Cowboys made two predictable salary cap-clearing moves that may be of particular interest to fantasy owners heading into the upcoming season. Dallas released tight end BLAKE JARWIN and kicker… More GREG ZUERLEIN.

Fantasy News: Second-half kickers
A pair of kickers put up huge numbers in the second half of the season – Tyler Bass and Greg Zuerlein both averaged over 10 points in their final eight games. Should we take that as a sign that these kickers are likely to rank in the top 10 in 2021? Or is this more likely a case of outlier production in a small sample size? more »

The Cowboys signed Greg Zuerlein yesterday. Yes, sorry, the signing of a kicker was probably the biggest NFL-related news item to come down the pike yesterday.
