I don't think I'd hate it if we signed him, but I don't think I'd feel very good about it either. We'd probably be looking for a kicker again in the near future as well because he's 40 years old and now has a recent history of a back issue that kept him out an entire season.
Gotta be better options I would think.

If you're talking about me, thanks :2thumbs:
I thought I was being clever with my username but this is the first time It's backfired on me as I'm not 100% sure you were talking to me and not Blitzer88!

He missed six FGs in 2016 . . . but that was out of 35 attempts. Janikowski was 28/29 from inside of 50 yards. Five of his misses were from 50+ yards.
He is the consummate professional. The biggest question mark for him would be passing the physical.

Seeing as how he's 40 years old and just missed an entire season with a back issue, that's a pretty big question mark IMO.
Sometimes you need your kicker to make a 53 yard FG. Most NFL kickers have at least a reasonable shot at hitting those. Sounds like Janikowski doesn't really anymore.
Like I said, gotta be better options. Especially if we don't want to be right back in this same position of needing to find a kicker next off season or the one after that.
