The 2nd most accurate kicker in NFL history is looking for a job, and this is the result. Just don't get it barring Bailey flat out saying he didn't want to play here. Cowboys cut the dude strictly for money savings.

I mean I get it, if Gonzalez had a groin injury that absolutely could be the cause of the pulls to the left we saw.....but then so what? we still need another kicker....or at least a punter that can also be the faux kicker. Problem with that theory is....Gonzalez was "booming" kickoffs...so really? Groin injury and he's still putting balls damn near through the goal posts on kickoffs? Doesn't pass my smell test.

Allegedly Bailey had off season surgery and wasn't the same in camp. It was more than just a money savings issue.

Sorry Tom. In the NFL- you're only as good as your last kick. Go ahead and be in D-Nile that Gone-zalez wasn't the primary reason we lost the Saints game, and there's no denying he makes that kick with three seconds left, the game is going to overtime. So, if you can't do your job, we're going to try and find someone else that can. Especially at the cost of a hard fought game that easily could have been a win.
You probably didn't look at the other thread, but mjp put up some telling stats that Gonzales has pretty much sucked- even last year. If you want to say Dorsey made a mistake keeping him, and not going with the other guy after training camp- be my guest.
Hey- Vegas regular- you know damn well most NFL point spreads are three points or less- the difference of a made or missed field goal. As Gipper pointed out Scott Norwood's miss cost the Bills a Super Bowl win.
BTW- those meanie Vikings are going to replace their kicker too, after he blew a couple FGs in overtime, costing them a win.
Please don't feed the troll.

A guy who played most of his youth playing football/soccer than American football.
Good pre season, young and now been given an amazing opportunity.
He will be used to kicking and under pressure. But the NFL is a different kettle of fish.
I'll back him.

Ya.... forced a kicker to kick..... more like the kicker knew he was 100% replaceable and said nothing.
Plus like Clevfan4life said..... dude was putting kick offs into the endzone and missed a 50+ yarder that would have been good at 60.....

At least he doesn't have an hispanic last name.
Can't trust those bastards.

Maybe but IMO unlikely. He just signed with the Vikings and reportedly turned down several other teams offers to kick. Could be he simply wanted to play for a winner.

Can't hardly blame him for that. Thought he might even hold out to see if the Rams needed a kicker depending on how badly their kicker is hurt.

Dan Bailey didn’t want to play for the Browns and signed with the Vikings. As for Zane Gonzalez, did he think no one would notice he had a groin injury? What a scumbag!

I still want clarification on his "groin injury" cause he pulled an uncle rico on the kickoff after one of his PAT misses.

Apparently Adam Schefter was reporting it too but as you say he kicked off fine out of the end zone, any injury was obviously not that serious to prevent from kicking. And lets not act like Zane was tearing it up since he was drafted he was marginal at best.

Who the fuyuck ever knew that he had a groin injury until after that game? Sounds like a dog ate my homework excuse.

And has been pointed out...his kickoffs had plenty of leg, as did the FG's he missed. It wasn't like he left that 52 yarder at the end short, it had plenty of distance.
