Looks like the Jags have two kickers and are trying to trade one.

Josh Scobee has been the kicker in Jacksonville for more than a decade and has made both of his field goal attempts this summer while also reaching the end zone on all five of his kickoffs. Jason Myers has hit on four of the five field goals he’s tried, missing from 58 yards, and put seven of his eight kickoffs into the end zone to earn good reviews for both his leg strength and accuracy.

Scobee is the proven entity, which might make him an appealing target for the Steelers in the wake of Garrett Hartley’s hamstring injury assuming the team is willing to pay the salary — $3.425 million — that comes with that status. Myers is cheaper, but has no regular season experience to entice a team looking for an upgrade at the position.

It may work against the Jaguars that there’s little chance they keep both kickers through the cuts to 53 players since the Steelers or other teams might prefer to hold onto their picks while seeing who winds up on the chopping block.

make a trade or comb the waiver wire?
 
Lots of teams have 2 kickers right now - but I'd take Scobee.

but we have a game in 4 days, gotta move fast

we would have to throw in a third rounder in this scenario (give them)

unloading two headaches would cost us

we aim to please

and sometimes we just aim
 
Why trade when we know many teams will be cutting someon we can just pick up? Who gives a **** about.the last pre season game? Tombert hasn't given a **** about any of them so far.

Agreed. That will give us time to scour some of the guys in UEFA or FIFA...
 
Unless we are trading a punter for a kicker or a guy who will get cut for him, I'll wait until the Jags (or another team) release one of them.
 
Let the punter kickoff and.its four down territory once we pass the 50 and all 2 pt conversions, kickers are weak...

Sounds great until you're down by 2 with a minute left in the game.
 
Woo-wee!

We're gonna get us a shiny new kicker - maybe one that can kick em through the EZ this time!

It's like Christmas, waiting for Santa to leave us a present!
 
If they want to trade he will be available in a week. You can probably get the milk for free. If someone wants to trade for him or cut their guy he will become available.
