Kicking situation next season

I think it depends on his injury only. If he’s healthy, he’s here and that’s a good deal for him. We saw how important a good kicker is and how barren the market is. I don’t believe the draft has many good K prospects this year, either.

Of course

IMO we should just start fresh at the position this offseason. Sign someone, draft someone, whatever. But both Gost and Folk are old.

On that note, I was pleasantly impressed by the consistency of Bailey’s kickoffs since he took over, including in the playoff game. Not quite as strong a leg as Gost but still able to get it into the end zone consistently in Foxboro in January. His punting was more inconsistent as the year went on though; I wonder how much of that had to do with the dual role.

I don't have the data in front of me but I imagine he was punting a whole lot more often as the season wore along. That's going to introduce some regression to the mean.

Draft a kicker ... let camp settle it.

Keep in mind the NFL is sure to dock them at LEAST 4 picks.
