The search for a new kicker by the Bears is already sad enough

The Chicago Bears are still looking for a new kicker after Cody Parkey's double bond has lifted the playoff team from last season. This, combined with the appearance of the kicker on the Today & # 39; hui show, did not assimilate the franchise and even led Chicago to consider taking a decisive blow of 4.4 million dollars just to move on. The training sessions have been going on for a few months now, so let's look at what's going on.

Hm, not great! Fortunately for these eight unfortunate souls – four of whom are contract kickers while the other four are minicamp rookies – coach Matt Nagy is willing to be as patient as possible with these tests. The Bears plan to hold a full competition for the square in July during the training camp. This notable failure will not be the only determining factor in the composition of the team.

"We have a method for our madness, and again, I think for us, just to find a kicker and see what they can do in practice, we want to be able to see as much as possible in situations of game, how they handle that too, "said Nagy," because it's one thing to be able to hit and tap 8-in-8 when it does not matter. "But what about when it does matter – you know that's what we try to understand as well, because we have young kickers, and we try to create it. "

This seems like a smart approach for a team unable to find consistency in this post since the departure of Robbie Gould. Today's NFL teams have the bad habit of forgetting how important it is to have a good kicker until the un-traded free agent they recovered in December hurts their winners.

Nevertheless, of the eight players who have attempted a field placement from that memorable distance Friday, only one of them should feel a residual tremor by recreating that experience. None of the other kickers missed this infamous attempt. If this distance is a problem for 75% of them, the problem may not only concern the kickers, but the team itself.

Nice, it's been too long since Chicago did not have a cursed sports franchise.
