Connor Barth - Free agent - The 30 year old Barth had a bad start to the 2016 season by missing his first kick. Yeah, it was just one kick, but it was the first kick attempted by a Bears kicker since the Robbie Gould era ended. That was all it took for some fans to immediately long for Gould and despise Barth.
The anemic Bears’ offense only saw them get into position for Barth to attempt 23 field goals, and he made 18 of them. For a little perspective on his season, his 18 made FGs placed him tied for 28th, his 23 attempts was 27th, but his field goal percentage of 78.
