The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former North Carolina kicker Connor Barth.
Barth established UNC's records for career field goals (54) and consecutive field goals (19) last season, and had been working out in Chapel Hill after being cut by the Chiefs in August. His brother, Casey, is now the kicker for the Tar Heels.

Kickers are important

Just ask New England and Florida St. I do see the point of making bank for kicking. Hey man, I wouldn't expect him to give any money back. If they want to pay, just say o.k.
beat down time...

He'd be washing the Hummer and Bentley for at least a couple of weeks.
