After leading the league in 2009 with 10 missed field goal attempts at the three-quarter mark, Dallas’ star kicker [p2p postID=”3031″ text=”Nick Folk was cut in search of consistency on the three-point-tries”].
Dallas went on to sign Shaun Suisham who has flopped so far and Folk went to the unemployment lines.
Some of us Dallas fans struggled with the decision to release Folk. Some said he still hadn’t gotten right after his preseason hip surgery and others simply maintained that he needed time to work through a tough spell in his young career. Neither has yet to be settled as anything more than mere speculation.
As of today, though, the clock starts ticking down to the moment when we’ll all know if Folk was a two-year man or just in need of some refocusing.
According to Mike Florio at ProFootballTalk.com, Nick Folk is headed to New York for tryouts with both the New York Jets and New York Giants. The Giants still have a guy under contract while the Jets’ only kicker is an unrestricted free agent. Read the full article at PFT: Nick Folk Has Two Tryouts Coming Up
Apparently few have forgotten what Folk has done when at his best and seem to be willing to give him a shot. We’ll have to keep an eye out to see what happens.
Anyone think Dallas could/should/would resign Folk before the 2010 season starts? Give your answers in the comments.
kickers are a dime a dozen… we'll find a better one.
I'm actually kind of concerned given just how many kickers seemed to have problems being reliable from inside 40-45 yards in '09. I suppose one oddly bad year doesn't amount to much, I just hope the oddity isn't trending upward.

well, Look how many ex-cowboy kickers he developed that are still in the league. …. Whatever crap Nick Folk has in his head he needs to clear it out
I think he just needed more time
