I just don't see a massive undercurrent of kicker needs across the league that would up the demand for Folk so much that he's in immediate danger of being scooped up if cut. There are at least 4-5 other free agent vets available according to a couple websites similar to Folk (age and stats) as well.
Plus they cut him before and he wasn't signed immediately. If I was confident this was a potential Super Bowl team - I'd say go with the vet, but I still think they're MAYBE a playoff team (barring catastrophic injuries). The risk/reward return on investment at this point would seem to favor keeping the kid.
This makes a lot of sense if it's a development year. I think BB is going to go for it this year with a vengeance. and Folk is as solid as they come within 42 yards.
