PFT: Mare to Seattle
13 replies
Muckretired_adminOPA league source tells PFT that the Seattle Seahawks have agreed to terms with free-agent kicker Olindo Mare on a two-year, $3.5 million contract.
Mare, who spent 2007 with the New Orleans Saints, had also received an offer from the Denver Broncos. In Seattle he’ll replace Josh Brown, who signed as a free agent with the St. Louis Rams.

Amazing how far this guy fell. As a kicker (and a former elite one at that), he should have been able to play several more years.
Make the throwback uniforms permanent!
Seattle? I thought he was headed to Denver lol. Thanks for the info.

Yes,he fell off the mountain and kept tumbling down.Quite the shame.
Superselfforum_veteranMare really maxed out his earnings as a kicker though. He was highest paid at one time I believe.

He deserved it then imo, he was a very good kicker but somehow has a drastic drop off in skill. Reminds me of Vandershank.

In my press guide it says his name is Vanderdrunk. :pointlol:

Olindo made a pretty good choice, its cold, rainy, and windy in seattle. He'll have plenty of things to blame his missed kicks on!

The year he started falling off he had toe problems big time, which wasn't much publicized, and it looks like he's never going to recover from that. Too bad, I liked him, quiet, go to work and do your job kind of guy.
The greatest value of the past is how wisely we invest it in the future.

Marino1983New MemberI guess Seattle thinks they can get consistantly within 25 yrds of the goal post when making f-g attempts.
Because any further away Mare sucks!
