Sam Darnold sure does look surprised in that picture.

[Rolloffjet 687]

I keep hearing bears might trade for him but I would think if we offer the same as the bears the ravens would choose us.

[JetsYanks13 1,650]

How about Charlie Brown?

Wilkommen. BTW, unless we give them some sort of something, Bears are on track for him, or so I have read...

Hey Los.  Long time no talk to.

How many conditional 7th rounders can one team dangle out there?

Fun fact, that was an Australian TV show that have gave life to this gif. Was some reality tv show like Australia's Got Talent, or something equally mediocre.

Lol, WTF? I always thought this was some kind of slapstick scene from a movie I had never seen. Damn, I can rhyme.

[JetsFanatic 6,188]

I wish everyone would calm down about the kicker. Last season Myers wasn’t signed till the last week in preseason. Catanzaro will probably get another game or two to see if he straightens out. After the cut down to 53, better kickers will be available as an option to Catanzaro if he continues to struggle.

Probably easiest to get the papers squared away with the current political leadership in place. 

[Samtorobby47 3,997]

They’ll be a new kicker today. Stay tuned. 

[nico002 7,134]

Bears are having a good kicking battle and we should pick up the loser

Feel for the bloke. He’s clearly not confident in his own ability anymore.

an odd chain of events

JD be like. “We’re gonna take you to a farm where the weather is always beautiful and you can kick all day. Come on. It’s right over here behind the wood shed.”

Just came to post the same thing.  What an odd turn of events.  Not cut but retired. Just crazy.  

Either way, I'm glad he's gone. This way we can actually find the next Jason Myers. 

[rayzor 445]

A decent kicker can kick into his 40's.  It must be in Cat's head.  Hmm, Bertolet was 9 of 14 last season for the AAF.  4 for 7 from 50+.  Doesn't sound great but it seems he has a strong leg.  Though he missed 2 of 7 from under 50.  Why not Blair Walsh, Cody Parkey or someone like Kai Forbath?  They don't seem to want to spend anything on a kicker.

[Lith 16,944]

From an article on Bertolet when he signed with Denver several months ago:

https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/broncos-sign-k-taylor-bertolet

Quote

Bertolet, who spent time during the 2018 offseason with the Broncos, played for the Salt Lake Stallions of the Alliance of American Football in 2019.

He was 9-of-14 on field goal attempts with the Stallions, including 4-for-7 from over 50 yards. He connected on a long of 54 yards.

While at Texas A&M, Bertolet converted 100 percent of his extra points and 71 percent of his field goals as a senior with the Aggies.

Not great numbers.  We will see if he wins the job over the next few weeks, or if we are still in the market for K on cut down day.

[HawkeyeJet 10,128]

[Joe W. Namath 4,806]

Good move by Cat.  He clearly didnt have it anymore.

[CanadienJetsFan 3,007]

Well, that takes care of that.

[Beerfish 32,258]

Good luck to him but this fellow does not rate a nick name.  "cat"?  child please.

[Lith 16,944]

For once, I agree with Cimini. 

We will see what Bertolet does with the chance he is given, but he is far from a sure thing.
