Just For Kicks

Coach Belichick has often said that every player has a value attached to them. The Pats will either pay for their services or move on. It remains to be seen what they will do with kicker Stephen Gotskowski who is set to become a free agent if the Pats don't sign him to a new contract.

Belichick let Adam Vinatieri go to free agency because he said a kicker only has a certain value. He found one in the draft with Gotskowski who has been everything that a coach could want in a kicker.

Gotskowski will make at least $4.5 million if they give him a franchise tag or try to sign him. This might be too much money to pay for a kicker. Belichick did it once with Vinatieri so it wouldn't surprise me if they let him walk.
