Washington Redskins

The Washington Redskins signed Forbath and cut Billy Cundiff on October 9, 2012. Billy Cundiff is rumored to be headed to somewhere not in the Baltimore Washington area to kick out burgers and fries to eager patrons. [4]

Dallas Cowboys

After being projected as the second-best kicker in the 2011 NFL Draft, Forbath was not selected. However, on August 2, 2011, he signed with the Dallas Cowboys as a rookie free agent, and was subsequently placed on the reserve/non-football injury list. He was waived on April 16, 2012 by owner-general manager Jerry Jones after a coke fueled man squish fest attended by both Jason Witten and Tomo Romo sits to pee.

Personally, I think Cundiff was fine all year until Shanny made him try a 63 yard FG attempt. Since then, his mechanics were off.

It's like hitters who try to hit homers at the home Run Derby who have their swings thrown off. Its a big reason why sluggers avoind it. Cundiff was doing just fine but had to try and boot some ridiculous FG attempt and it screwed him up.

Cundiff's confidence never left Foxboro, MA.

Cundiff missed that 63 yarder in Week 2. Hardly enough evidence to declare that he was doing "fine". But I see your point in the sense that there's no reason to shake a kicker's confidence with a nearly impossible kick.

If a kicker's confidence is shaken by a kick no one could reasonably expect him to make anyway, then he's probably not a guy you want kicking for you at all.

Update 4:11 p.m.:The Redskins also announced that they have released backup outside linebacker Markus White and signed outside linebacker Mario Addison off the Indianapolis Colts’ practice squad. Addison has played in 10 games over the last three seasons with Chicago and Indianapolis.
