I'm hoping for that Australian punter that played for Utah but he will probably be a relatively high draft choice as punters go.I hope the Packers at least bring in competition for Masthay.
He won the Ray Guy award.

Lol so much for the expert that said the Pack would be foolish to pay more than $3m per season... Hahahahahaha
Do you know the difference between a prediction and an opinion? As captainWIMM wrote, just because they did it doesn't mean they didn't overpay him. If someone had written "the Packers shouldn't sign Brad Jones to an extension" three years ago, or "the Packers shouldn't draft Brian Brohm before the 2008 draft you no doubt would have posted, "so much for the expert..." Pathetic brah.Lol so much for the expert that said the Pack would be foolish to pay more than $3m per season... Hahahahahaha
During his career Crosby has finished in the top 10 in FG percentage only once (10th in 2011) but outside of the top 20 in six (!!!) of his nine seasons, yet TT felt it's necessary to make him the third highest paid kicker in the league.
And he's been money ever since. In a kicker-hostile venue, you'd be hard pressed to find a kicker who could do better than Crosby the past 3 seasons.

Stats are stats. he doesn't suck, and he hasn't made every kick. there are significant reasons from poor special teams play in general to crosby just missing. I don't care to break down every kicker and every scenario to compare. they're kickers and Crosby generally does what this team wants him too. We "could" find someone cheaper, we could also cycle thru 2-3 kickers like other teams were scrambling to do at the beginning of the year.Captain has laid out some significant FACTS as to why we overpaid Crosby...just curious does anyone have some numbers/stats that show he is a Top 3 kicker?

If we overpaid, it wasn't like we're paying him 22 million dollars to be , he's making like a million a more and if he sticks in the 88% or higher range and is consistent with kicks, I'm ok with it. The discrepancy isn't like he's getting paid 10 and everyone else is getting paid 2. They are all in that 2-4 range, and some of those guys will be making more than they are now in 2 years time.

Yeah. He is clutch when it matters. Even last year, he kicked the game winner against the Lioons..... Oh wait

As a side note, Crosby has been pretty good in the playoffs. Perfect on extra points, 23 out of 25 on field goals, and hasn't missed one since 2010. Anyone thinking that's not important need only consult any Minnesota Vikings fan.
Some fans aren´t capable of including facts into forming an opinion because of them already having a predetermined one.
While Crosby´s FG percentage is pretty good in the playoffs only five of those succesful attempts came from more than 40 yards while eight of them were from less than 30 yards. His playoff career long is 48.
I hope the Packers at least bring in competition for Masthay.
I would sum it up by saying that while Crosby may not be a great kicker, he is a pretty good kicker, and not every team has one of those. If Crosby had hit the open market I don't think he would have had to wait too long before the phone started ringing. I think Ted did well to sign him.
I´m sorry but all facts indicate he´s a below average kicker now being paid like an elite one.

You're welcome to your opinion, but I don't happen to share it. Green Bay is not the easiest place to kick in, yet last year he kicked pretty well here.
The alternative is the unknown kicker with the potential of sending us through a season with extreme inconsistent FG kicking. We have seen it so many times. A good kicker leaves a team, then that team struggles to find a new consistent kicker for a year or two.
The last thing we need, is kicking woes.
