At this point, the Arizona Cardinals should be evaluating their roster position by position. The 2018 season is over. Why not get ahead of 2019 now?
Instead, the Cardinals have decided to stick with what got them here to 2-8. One of those decisions is with their kicker. On Monday, they released Matt McCrane, two days after signing him.
Phil Dawson, the usual kicker, was injured and couldn’t go on Sunday in the loss to the Oakland Raiders. Dawson hasn’t been horrible this season, but then again he’s not had much of a chance to get work.
