Don't know much about him, but he hasn't missed a FG attempt inside the 40 since 2014........

Does he have 2 legs? If so. Bring him into camp

 

[Calabis]

Hit 90+ percent of his FGs last year..actually a good signing compared to the mfers we been watching aka Barth

 

[Speed]

Why are the Phins dropping him? Is their cap situation THAT dire?

 

[ruprecht]

Windy called this one.

 

[Calabis]

No idea

Much easier to kick in Miami than in Chicago. Would have preferred the Bears to develop their own guy for the long haul, but I can't fault Pace, he's hitting home runs right now.

But can he kick in Chicago/Soldier Field?

 

[dafridge72]

b4 Miami he kicked in Philly/Cleveland so Chicago weather should not be an issue.

Some posts from Dolphins fan forum

Let him go. "It's ok, he wasn't a game changer". Even though he executed 4 successful onsides kicks, since the team promptly threw picks each time, blowing the comeback chance, he didn't help us win. Not a game-changer man -just let him walk.

I guess he is really good at onside kicks

Why in the world are we not resigning him?

Can we keep Parkey? Best kicker since Dan Carpenter we’ve had.

In all seriousness I hope we bring Parkey back. He was fantastic for us.

Oh no!!!! Not our MVP!!!!

He should've been signed after kicking all those onside kicks successfully and performing well overall. This is why I'm not nearly as emotionally invested as I used to be.

i dont understand how he isnt signed already. we need to keep him

As would I. He should have been the first guy we signed.

A hometown fan and best kicker since Mare, if those front office morons lose him because they took him for granted they should be lined up in front of a firing squad and summarily executed once and for all for cause!! This would be the epitome of incompetence!

You win. You are “Steve Rosenbloom for a day”.

Good thing the league didn't take my idea and run with it.

Let’s not be the team kicking onside kicks this year

 

[WindyCity]

6/7 on 50+ yard kicks last season/
