After enduring another round of criticism for a poor kicking performance followed by tryouts for free agents, the Cowboys announced on Monday that Brett Maher has been cut and replaced by Kai Forbath. In his eighth year as a pro, Forbath most recently played for the Patriots but was cut after one game due to missing an extra point.
To Cowboys fans, that’ll likely elicit a strong negative response considering Maher himself had a track record of missing field goals that should’ve been easily made. But who exactly is Forbath, and is he actually an upgrade over Maher or is this more of an empty gesture from the team to signal that they at least made a change?
