I highly doubt he will ask to be the highest paid kicker and I doubt he will have a ton of luck getting better than the average if he tested the market so I fairly certain we could walk away signing him to something in the ball park of the league average. Curious, where did you get 4 mil from?

Spotrac lists the cap hit for kickers and it's a little different way of looking at the true cost of re-signing Lambo:

Still comes out to about $4M per year for one of the high-end kickers. Looking quickly at the stats for kickers, Lambo is in the top quarter of all kickers overall so I don't think he'll sign for the league average when he's clearly above average and lots of teams have cap space to burn.

I just don't know if I would put him over those guy so I would offer between 2.5-3.5 and that would be about it. but this me being a armchair GM. Personally I think that we are going to have make at least one big cut to save the cap but I don't see a 2-3mil shift in a kicker being something that will shift the scale enough to actually cut the guy. I wouldn't give him a 6 mil contract like some of those others but a midrange wouldn't hurt.

Lambo actually has better stats than most of the highest-paid kickers.

It's a tough call. He's a free agent so we don't have to cut him or anything - the Jags have to create some cap space to sign him regardless because right now, there isn't any cap space.

Too many big contracts last year to Moncrief, Norwell, Blake, D.J. Hayden, etc. We're in a bind.

I agree. the moncrief one I thought was only for one year so don't think we are on the hook for anything next season. also I think people like Lee were only resigned to a one year deal. And people like parnell, hyde, and Kessler do not have a dead money hit in 2019 so I don't the are on the hook for much if we cut them. Darius is also one that has no dead money hit in 2019.

the only really bad looking dead money hit is bortles
