Brett Maher was one of the most efficient kickers in the NFL last season, helping the Dallas Cowboys win 12 games during the regular season. However, Maher’s historic struggles in the playoffs led to Dallas realizing it needed to make a change.

After converting 90.6 percent of his 32 field-goal attempts during the regular season and hitting 50-of-53 extra-point attempts, Maher collapsed in the playoffs.

Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round, Maher missed on his first four extra-point attempts. While the Cowboys kept him on the roster, it was evident he lost the trust of the coaching staff and locker room.

However, Dallas didn’t address the problem early in the offseason. While it is giving Tristan Vizcaino a shot, Dallas is scouring the earth for a new kicker and has even been connected to the position in NFL trade rumors.
