The Cardinals are reportedly not "wedded" to unrestricted free agent K Neil Rackers.

The team does have interest in re-signing Rackers, but they're expected to keep their options open if he wants too much money. Though Rackers has enjoyed solid percentages in Arizona, he's had issues in the clutch.

From Rotoworld. Out of all the possible free agents, Rackers could be the odd man out.

This

sounds like they will get a new kicker if one is available that can make those important field goals. Rackers hasn’t been bad but has left the Cardinals behind too many times when he was needed.

I think people know my views on Rackers

Im not going to be ecstatic about him leaving, because it creates another problem. However, it could mean one less game lost next season.

i'm okay if he's the one free agent we can't resign

so what do we do? Sign Nugent?

What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.

If

it was between them I would take Rackers. But maybe they will draft a K in later rounds or UDFA. The team doesn’t have tremendous needs in the draft and they could eventuallly use a new K.

"team doesn't have tremendous needs in the draft..."

I can’t agree with that. Our defense has some major issues that were only partially masked by Warner’s performance on the other side. In principle, I would say the draft is always tremendously important, even if your roster is packed to the brim with talent.

A K in the later rounds still isn’t out of the question. I wouldn’t want Nugent to replace Rackers either.

Absolutely NOT

Nugent can’t kick the ball beyond the 10 yard line during kickoffs. He gives opponents the ability to start between the 30-40 yard line on every possessionthat’s not including any kind of decent return, either.

There has to be a better kicker out there. If not, then we are shooting ourselves in the foot.

I know Rackers missed some clutch kicks

But we still should try and keep him. He has a strong leg, excellent pouch and onside kicks and is really accurate (at least not when the game is on the line).

They are who we thought they were!

I just hope he's not being dumb and asking for rediculous money

After that miss in the playoffs he has no leeway

What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.
