The Dolphins had a pair of rookies competing for their kicking job, and they’ve decided. According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins are releasing Greg Joseph, which leaves the job in the hands (feet?) of Jason Sanders. Sanders was picked in the seventh round, which gave him a edge walking into the competition for no reason other than teams don’t like cutting draft picks. The two rookies were actually roommates during the offseason, but Sanders will have a little more room to stretch out now.
The Cowboys used a second-round pick on Gavin Escobar in 2013. He has been with five teams and now hoping for a sixth after being cut for the fourth time in his career. The Dolphins are moving on from the tight end, Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports. He signed with Miami in April after the Browns cut him three months after signing him to a futures contract. Escobar, 27, has 30 catches for 333 yards and eight touchdowns in 64 career games.
Well that’s good news from here. I’ve seen Sanders kick many times. He has a big leg and good accuracy most of the time. Hope our local Lobo has a good career with Miami.
Honestly the kicking game has been a problem for years now and i hope its finally resolved... but it hasnt always been the kicker... we give up a lot of pressure which has made it difficult for our kickers
I didn't expect that one- that guy's a solid young player! I bet a dollar he makes NE's final roster.
Hopefully he makes it to the practice squad. If so, very good/smart move. If he's signed elsewhere, bad move.
Sad about Lippett he had a great rookie season but never came back the same after his injury .. i was high on him he was rock solid in Michigan State, played both offense and defense
