Myers resigned to 4 year deal!!!!

[themunn]

Seems pricey for a kicker. His average per year is more than these guys. Is he top 3 in the league?

Dunno, but players voted him the best kicker in the league thisyear, so he must be up there https://nflpa.com/posts/the-players-all-pro

He missed 3 field goals total in 2020 and 2022 combined. Not bad for a "head case" as someone called him, all because he missed a FG vs. the Rams, only to come back and get the game winner.

Love it. We rarely talk about Myers, that's a GOOD thing.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

But 2023 is an odd-numbered year.

Can he break the cycle he's been in?

Cycle? He missed 3 FIELD GOALS ALL SEASON. Last year he missed ZERO.

 

[BASF]

Cycle? He missed 3 FIELD GOALS ALL SEASON. Last year he missed ZERO.

Year	Team	FG ATT	FGM	PCT	COMB	AST
2022	Seahawks	37	34	91.9	3	1
2021	Seahawks	23	17	73.9	4	1
2020	Seahawks	24	24	100.0	2	1
2019	Seahawks	28	23	82.1	2	0
2018	Jets	36	33	91.7	1	0
2017	Jaguars	15	11	73.3	-	-

Notice how his percentages drop pretty dramatically in odd numbered years? This is what we mean regarding Myers cycle/pattern.

 

[bigskydoc]

He's top 5, without question, and the contract will not be top 5 by the midpoint.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

If you wanna' worry about him BASF, by all means, go for it. I'm not worried one bit about Myers.
I stand corrected, it was 2020 that he missed zero. Damn, time flies

Edit: 2020 and 2022 combined: 3 FG MISSED TOTAL

So he Averages what 85.48% .. thats still extremely good.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I get the every other year thing. Just my own outlook on the guy, not worried at all.

 

[JGreen79]

He's top 5, without question, and the contract will not be top 5 by the midpoint.

League's leading scorer this season as well.

 

[Kinger95]

It’s actually not bad. This for a kicker on the Texans is a waste. It’s hard on a team when a kicker can’t make anything so to pay a bad one 2/3 mill why not have one of the best for only a couple mill more. Plus there’s a ton of guys that only make a few hundred K less that aren’t as good

 

[nanomoz]

I'd bet there's at least half a dozen teams that would have offered Myers a contract like this. Lots of kicking woes the past couple of years.

 

[Hawknballs]

Not even sure why this is in question as far as the value. You just resigned a top-5 kicker in the league. The cap went from 208 to 220m.

If he performs as he has, money well spent. Had we let him go and not found a reliable replacement, which is highly likely, we'd all be annoyed that we were too cheap by 1-2m at a position that literally can win you games.

 

[bloodkingg]

Yeah, stoked to hear this news. He's a good/great kicker and we're lucky to have him. Plus I nail every FG in Madden with him so I am a happy camper.

Now if we could pick up some linebackers that actually attack the hole and don't get ran over all the time, I'd be winning way more.

 

[IndyHawk]

It is weird off/on year by year BUT when we had to watch Walsh and Jankowski
before,I feel a lot better.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Instant nightmares of the 3 missed FG's by Walsh against the Cards at home. Puke

 

[JGreen79]

It is weird off/on year by year BUT when we had to watch Walsh and Jankowski
before,I feel a lot better.

And we choose a Janikowski that hadn't played the year before over Myers that year... Moving on from Myers is much more likely to have the same effect as moving on from Hauschka.

It is reassuring to see that the staff learns from disappointments or what some refer to as mistakes. Pity the front offices that miss out on that because of constant turn over in their organizations.

For the Seahawks, the best is yet to come.
