We just cut the most accurate kicker in franchise history. We are about to find out first hand just how good Veach is.

[penbrook]

Veach is not fucking around! He will get picked up by another team. He will leave the Chiefs as the most accurate kicker in Chiefs history and the fourth most accurate kicker of all time through his first three seasons

I'm guessing that they must really like the new kicker. No reason to cut Santos otherwise. He was already on IR and not counting against the 53 man roster.

so if you get "Santosed" is that being cut while injured?

Here's a thought experiment for you:

If Santos had just walked this offseason, we could have netted a compensatory pick for him in 2019.

By cutting him, we've now rendered that scenario impossible.

Santos might be back later on in the year so who knows

[RunKC]

From AP


“[Butker] is a good kicker,” special teams coordinator Dave Toub said Friday. “He was our number one guy coming out this year as a rookie, we had him ranked number one. So if we were going to draft a guy he was going to be the guy we would probably target. So we felt good about him coming out, we just weren’t looking for a kicker at that time. It’s funny how things work and now all of a sudden we’ve got him. We’re happy with him, he’s a good kid.”


There ya go. Sounds like Toub loved him back in the spring.

If they wanted to bring him back they wouldn't have waived him. He's gone

It's hard to fathom how much better kickers are today. Look at Jan Stenerud. A HOF kicker. He is 1th in percentage made at 64%. And Nick Lowery, probably the best kicker in the league during most of his career, is 6th.

Hali is on PUP. He will be brought back from that. He doesn't use up an IR return.

Agreed. Is kind of amazing though to see his percentage made was pretty high. Kind of magnifies what a gigantic choke artist he was. Even with a good, reliable leg he had a pitiful percentage on extra points. That's just a guy who can't handle pressure.

[FloridaMan88]

Seems odd that Santos was healthy enough to kick during the game (including taking a big hit on a roughing the kicker penalty), after supposedly suffering an injury during the pregame warm-up that is now apparently serious enough to keep him out for a significant part of the season.

[TimeForWasp]

Doink!!!

[BlackOp]

Pup players don't count on the IR designation.

So are Hali and Nelson PUP? Then cutting Santos seems a bit premature...what if this new guy tanks....A rookie kicker on a team with SB aspirations is not something I'm crazy about.

No Hali and Dadi are on the pup list. And they are correct they can come back after the 6th week which i expect Hali will. It has nothing to do with the IR list as of now we have one that will come back and that is Nelson.

[BlackOp]

Probably so they can bring him back later in the season without using one of their IR-return exemptions.

That would be a smart move...no one is going to sign him while injured. If the rookie struggles just bring Santos back and save the IR designation.

It's not Reid's style to essentially fire someone because of injury.

Rest them, age them like fine wine [that's how it works, right?], experiment a little with a skill position or two.
We've drafted our SB guarantee, so if we need a kicker before Mahomes starts, we can always draft one in the first round.

Yeah, we got a little spoiled with him. But strangely, for as accurate as he was, I still don't know who he is as a late game kicker. We play a lot of close games but he hasn't had to ice many games. He didn't have his first walkoff until 2016, which is hard to believe.

Yup. That was the second. And it wasn't one that inspired much confidence. I don't have an opinion either way, by the way. But surprisingly he was just never asked to do it much.

[saphojunkie]

Santos was going to be a free agent next year anyway. They weren't gonna bring him back, so why not release him with an injury settlement? Maybe they even shaved a little off the cap.

[AeroSquid]

He needs to hunt the guy down that injured him.....


The guy essentially ended his career.


According to the star's article he injured himself on his last warm up kick before the roughing the kicker thing happened. whatever the truth of it is i'm saddened by the loss of such a good kicker. i loved his name and even had a superstitious chant before he attempted any big kick. this sucks. i understand he has a substantial injury but fuck letting him go over it. he came through for the team in some really crucial games. the whole thing makes me sick.

This off season gonna be epic. Lots of old trash going to be taken out. Smith traded. Nice pile of cash for picks and FAs.

So can't wait to see how 2018 starts to shape up.

Win/Win.

The end...

I still don't know who he is as a late game kicker. We play a lot of close games but he hasn't had to ice many games. He didn't have his first walkoff until 2016, which is hard to believe.

This a million times and that walk off was a "doink". Good move IMHO.

Veach sees cap $$ savings and Toub sees talent. And when both saw what Jake Elliot did last weekend who they had ranked lower they both salivated and then when the news came about Santos injury they both said, "time for a change". Good move !!!!:clap:

[JakeF]

Wouldn't we have gotten a comp pick by keeping Santos on IR and then letting him go in FA next year? Not to mention he would have been a safety net in case the rookie doesn't work out. Poor decision

[thabear04]

Who puts a kicker on IR?...

Raiders lol.

I'll predict the Jaguars end up with Santos.

The Jags kicker is the 4th highest scoring kicker in the league...

It appears that Veach doesn't mess around.

You do have XXXX luck...

[thabear04]

The way Blair Walsh was kicking during warm ups or whatever they had showed. I wouldn’t be surprised if Santos sign a deal with them.

[GloucesterChief]

This was a great decision already!

/sarc

[TLO]

Well shit

[kcxiv]

meh, its not like santos hasnt missed a field goal, it happens, it was the kids first attempt ever.

[KChiefs1]

Buttlicker hopefully didn't cost us the game.

[Sannyasi]

Can we bring Santos back? Is he allowed to kick using crutches?

[ILChief]

meh, its not like santos hasnt missed a field goal, it happens, it was the kids first attempt ever.

Santos's first few games were rough then he settled down. Hope this is the same

[JakeF]

meh, its not like santos hasnt missedds a field goal, it happens, it was the kids first attempt ever.
Instead of being cheap and cutting Santos, we should have kept him as security in case this new guy doesn't work out. Veach is watching the bottom line so he doesn't get fired like the last guy by his cheap owner.

[Buckweath]

This is just like Hunt first carry. In the grand scheme of things it is not much but here is hoping that kicker has a strong mind.

[Skyy God]

Butkicker settling in.

[GloucesterChief]

I take it back!

[Pitt Gorilla]

stop Being such pussies.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Butt kicker can stay.

[Al Bundy]

Santos will be in Tampa for a physical.

They could really use him…

[threebag]

Later Brazilian Midget

[jjchieffan]

They actually said that the physical is to see how far along he is, but that he's still a few weeks away from being ready. They also said that he was their first choice.

[RINGLEADER]

I hoped he would stick around until healed but I guess KC is really moving on.

[Rain Man]

They actually said that the physical is to see how far along he is, but that he's still a few weeks away from being ready. They also said that he was their first choice.

They probably also said that they'd rather have him kick with his left foot than endure another game with Nick Folk.

[RINGLEADER]

Raiders down 21-3

[JakeF]

Santos will be in Tampa for a physical.
They should be trading with us for him.

[rico]

They should be trading with us for him.

Yeah, maybe they will fork over a 2nd!!!!

[KChiefs1]

I'm sure he can't kick for a few weeks.

Not concered, unless Buttlick turns out to be another Medlock.



Yeah at least he's not barefoot.

One of my favorite 80s sci-fi flicks. Underrated as fuck.

Back when social justice issues could actually be subtly integrated into a film instead of whamming the audience over the head with them....

It's Rausch.

You need to take Introduction to Rausch and Rausch I before you can understand the Level II references.

See you in class.

I'll be in the back of the class shooting spitballs and generally waiting for class to get over.

[smith11]

hearing santos going to tampa to try out---he must have healed up quick

the way this went down I wonder if they just liked butker's potential so much that they moved santos out when it was not totally necessary
