Dolphins cut injured Feely, a year after he set team record

By John Clayton
New Miami Dolphins boss Bill Parcells continues to make changes on the roster, and got younger at kicker by releasing 32-year-old veteran Jay Feely.

Feely
Feely was coming off one of his best seasons, which made his release a surprise. He made 21 of 23 field goals last season, setting a team single-season record for field-goal percentage, and was one of the few bright spots on last year's 1-15 team.

His release opens the door for rookie Dan Carpenter of Montana, a 6-2, 220-pounder who signed with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent. Carpenter made field goals of 41 and 49 yards in Miami's 17-6 preseason loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Feely is entering his eighth season, having spent his first four years with the Atlanta Falcons, followed by two with the New York Giants.

His accuracy has improved in each of the past three seasons. He made 83.3 percent of his field goals for the Giants in 2005; 85.2 percent for the Giants in 2006; and 91.3 for the Dolphins last year.

Feely has been sidelined with a groin strain that forced him to sit out practice last week and miss the preseason opener. He signed a three-year, $4.6 million contract to join the Dolphins in 2007. As an 80.8 percent career kicker, Feely shouldn't have too much trouble finding a new job.

Petro has been claiming since camp started that the Chiefs kicker isn't on the roster yet. Apparently he wasn't too impressed with who is up in River Falls.

You know the team you follow has been dog shit when you're still bantering about a kicker from the mid 90's.

blueballs · 08-12-2008, 11:23 AM

Oh no
I have no idea what what's his face even looks like

Sure-Oz · 08-12-2008, 11:32 AM

I hope we'd bring him in

...One of the knocks on Feely last year was his kickoff distance, but he often was asked to kick short to prevent the possibility of a long return against the Dolphins' shoddy coverage....

I, too, was curious about his kick off distance. It seems our guys were only getting it to the opponents 15 yard line. When was the last time we had a kicker consistently put it in the end zone?
