The Cowboys hired zero experienced kicker in place of Tristan Vizcaino
Dallas Cowboys has shocked people recently with their new approach in the new season. As per reports, they have taken a big decision to cut one of their experienced kickers and hired a zero-experienced kicker.
Dallas Cowboys is the most valuable team in the league but they went for a no-experienced kicker. The Cowboys have decided to cut Tristan Vizcaino from the kicking squad, head coach Mike McCarthy announced on Monday. Now the release of Tristan means they will have to add Brandon Aubrey as he is the only kicker in the 90-man roster after the release of Vizcaino.
Maybe the team could add another kicker later but they haven’t announced it publicly. The Cowboys will now start the preseason with Aubrey as a specialist kicker.
The Cowboys had an interest in two kickers in the draft but they were selected earlier than the team wanted to pick. However, the Cowboys’ head coach said that the competition for the position is not over.
