Another board is reporting that the Skins brought this guy in for a workout today -- anyone here know anything?

Training camp competition for Hall. Plus we want to lighten his workload in the offseason, so it makes sense to bring in another kicker or two. Don't we also have a kicker in NFL Europe right now?

Hall's still the man, but Frost may get some work kicking off.

I'm all for competition -- especially in Hall's case!

Also, cutting Hall would open up about another million in cap space!

Were there's smoke there's fire!

Don't forget we've got a kicker in NFL Europe.

Sarcasm is no fun if it's completely misunderstood.

As you can see he hasn't really been tested. One of the better kickers in taht league is Ryan Killeen. He's 15/15 on xtra points and 4 of 5 on field goals with a long of 44 yards.

Tyler Jones just hasn't been given the opportunity to kick because his team really stinks. They are in last place in nfl europe.

Another interesting thing is that Gibran Hamden is tearing it up over there.

He did last season as well until he broke his collarbone on a rushing touchdown.

The kid has talent. He just needs help realizing his potential. Unfortuntately for him, there's no room in Seattle. They have a starter in Hasselbeck, a backup that they use as a wide receiver in Seneca Wallace and David Greene, whom they drafted last year.
