Browns and Vikings 'waive' goodbye to their kickers after poor performances
Turns out Browns' kicker Zane Gonzalez, who is losing Cleveland's kicking job this week, has been kicking with a groin injury that requires an MRI today, per source. Browns could reach an injury settlement with him or put him on waivers, injured.
The Browns could be 2-0 except they let their kicker kick with a groin injury. They should raise a statue to this outside the stadium, next to one commemorating the 0-16 season and one with a homeless guy telling the owner to draft Johnny Manzielhttps://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1041729293297111046 …
Zane Gonzalez was just 15-of-20 as a rookie. Keeping him and letting him wreck two games was an eminently avoidable disaster. Browns get both the big and little things wrong.

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer showed no mercy to kicker Daniel Carlson after his 0-for-3 day: http://bit.ly/2NfxrjE pic.twitter.com/Sc53vtadaZ

Well there you go. #Vikings move on after Carlson went 0 for 3 yesterday at Lambeau Field.https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1041753054293504001 …
Browns and Vikings both have now waived their former kickers Zane Gonzalez and Daniel Carlson, per sources.
The #Vikings, loaded basically everywhere, have just agreed to terms with the second most accurate kicker in NFL history. Dan Bailey waited for the right deal, now lands in Minnesota.
The NFL is a cold place. Vikings traded two picks to move up and take Daniel Carlson. Two weeks into his career, he's cut after a bad gamehttps://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1041753054293504001 …
The job security of an NFL kicker, even one you traded up to get, is so slim.https://twitter.com/tompelissero/status/1041753054293504001 …
Daniel Carlson and Zane Gonzalez were two of the most prolific kickers in college football history. They each have one bad NFL game and don’t get a second chance. It’s unreal.
