usbobsled Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 K Brett Maher, Nebraska: His agent says the Jets signed him to a 3 year contract, maybe he is more than a tryout player. Maher’s agent, Robert Roche, told PFT that Maher has signed a three-year deal with the Jets. Brett Maher continued Nebraska's long line of outstanding kickers and punters over the past two seasons. Maher completed his Husker career in 2012, and he left a significant mark in the NU record book with his performance the past two seasons. A Kearney native, Maher was one of five former walk-ons who were awarded a scholarship for the 2012 season. Maher made 20-of-27 field goals, while connecting on all 59 of his PAT attempts. His 20 field goals as a senior are second on the NU season chart, bettering his 2011 total by one. Maher scored 119 points to set a Nebraska record for most points scored in a season by a kicker. He ranked third overall in the Big Ten in scoring and first among kickers. In 2012, Maher had four games with three field goals, giving him six games with three or more field goals in his career. He also connected on three field goals beyond 50 yards this season, giving him six career field goals of at least 50 yards. Maher's efforts as a kicker earned him first-team All-Big Ten honors for the second straight season and also the Bakken-Andersen Big Ten Kicker-of-the-Year Award for the second straight season. Maher also handled the punting duties the past two seasons and averaged 41.8 yards per punt in 2012. He placed 18 punts inside the opponent 20, while also booming 17 punts of at least 50 yards. He was a second-team All-Big Ten choice as a punter by the coaches. Maher also handled kickoff duties and had 57 touchbacks in 96 kickoffs in 2012. Saw this from tweets, @danhoppen : Former #Huskers kicker Brett Maher made 14 of his 15 kicks at the NFL Combine. Nice showing by him, should be one of the first kickers taken 2 months 17 days ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed4 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Interesting we would sign a K/P to a three year deal. I thought Malone did a great job for us last year, and Folk was the least of our special teams worries. Perhaps this is one of those 'competition' guys we can stash for cheap and have backup both spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Interesting we would sign a K/P to a three year deal. I thought Malone did a great job for us last year, and Folk was the least of our special teams worries. Perhaps this is one of those 'competition' guys we can stash for cheap and have backup both spots. As long as there's no guaranteed money involved, which I'm sure there isn't for a guy who was a tryout player, it doesn't really make a difference. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a 3-year deal at the minimum salary for each year. In a case like that, the Jets have no reason not to make this deal and it makes no difference to them if they send him packing at any point this summer. On the flip side, if he works out and makes the roster, at least they've already got him locked in for a while. The only thing I'd really take from it is the fact that they could even be bothered to do that tells you he might be more than your standard UDFA camp leg and could actually have a shot to make the team.
