The Giants let kicker Jay Feely become a free agent without much resistance. But now that three other teams are vying for Feely's services, they're putting up a fight to keep him.

According to someone familiar with Feely's situation, the Giants have upped their offer to rival those Feely has received from the Dolphins, Chiefs and Falcons -- the team with which he began his career. The person, who requested anonymity because negotiations are ongoing, said Feely, 30, was pleased with the offer he received during his visit with the Dolphins yesterday but wants to give the Giants a chance to match. Feely is expected to make his final decision shortly.

He's kicking in a much more difficult place and doing the same job Tynes is in a not difficult kicking place......Coming here makes Feeley automatically 5x better than Tynes.

My question would be what are his stats away from the Meadowland. I might try to find those.

Ok found it.

He was 12-12 away from Giants stadium and 12-16 at home.

Pretty impressive

Very nice. This would be a good move but alot of teams are looking at him so he might end up costing too much.

Feely vs. Tynes over the past two seasons:

Player 20-29 30-39 40-49 50+
Feely: 25-27 30-34 14-18 3-6
Tynes: 18-18 16-19 11-18 4-7

About 14% of Feely's career kickoffs have been touchbacks, compared to Tynes' 4%. In 2006, Feely had 12 touchbacks in 77 regular (non-onside) kickoffs, while Tynes had 5 touchbacks in 76 regular kickoffs.

He's just under two years older than Tynes.

As you can see above, he's been about the same as Tynes from 50+, and better from 40-49.

Unless someone manages to conjure up a 28-year-old Morten Andersen, Feely's worth a shot.

Have we blocked a certain 23 yard miss from our memory bank?

Memo to Chiefs Planet:

No need to worry about kickoff stats. You have to score points in order to kick the ball off.

I'd spend money on the best foot masseuse money can buy for Colquitt before I'd spend big dollars on a kicker because he kicks off well.

I'd rather have Feely or Mare than Tynes.
