If the ravens young kicker can punt and kick FG's as well as advertised why would the ravens cut him?  They could cut Tucker and save a ton of money and a roster spot.

Good question. Its just a presumption. But to answer your question, he is a tradeable commodity, thats why. If they cut the vet nobody is going to want to match the vet's salary. Plus they are going to ask for a draft pick for the rook. If they get a good deal they dont cut him, they just trade him. So basically the training camp is a showcase for the rook.

 I just read the Vikings traded for that kicker from the Ravens. They were proactive to beat out several teams offering a 5th round pick.

I tried to stay awake after multiple attempts of watching the Bears first preseason game.  But one thing I noticed - Rashad Coward got beat for a couple sacks.  I believe he played the entire game at RT.

I"m sure he'll get a lot more snaps in the next 3 games, but right now I'd rate the LT TJ Clemmings ahead of him.

On a deep ball to #13 that Tyler Bray severely under threw (the receiver had 2 yards on the cornerback), the announcers spouted off how how Emmanuel Hall had over 2000 receiving yards at Missouri and there were a lot of pro receivers from that school.

Problem is that #13 is actually Marvin Hall the FA from Atlanta.  I don't think Emmanuel played - he's banged up.

Looking forward to seeing both Halls in upcoming games, but Marvin Hall is a serious deep threat.

The Score says that the Bears offered a conditional 5th for Vedvik.  It's damn annoying that he is a Viking, but a sure 5th is a high price for someone who has never kicked in the regular season.

Yeah, Bears may have made the deal if Vedvik had NFL experience, you know, like Cody Parkey did.

Even if the Bears had offered a non-conditional 5th, the Vikings 5th rounder would most likely be a better pick for the Ravens.

Vedvik is still an unkown commodity. he may suck in games.

True, but a lot of kickers are unknown quantities.  All of a sudden a reliable kicker can just lose it.

But Vikings took a chance.  Bears don't have a lot of draft choices.  We'll see what happens.

Holding out hope that we have Matt Bryant on speed dial...
