Jay Feely Cut

August 12, 2008 · Written by: Butler 

Kicker Jay Feely was cut by the Dolphins Tuesday morning, clearing the way for rookie kicker Dan Carpenter to take the starting spot.

Feely, a seven-year veteran, set a franchise record last season for accuracy, converting 21 of 23 field goals.

Feely has been battling a groin strain that forced him to sit out practice last week and miss Saturday’s 17-6 exhibition loss to Tampa Bay.

In that game, Carpenter, an undrafted rookie free agent from Montana, converted a 41 and 49 yard field goal.

This really, really surprises me as i thought Dan Carpenter would just be another one of those kickers that just gets cut after training camp. But really the MVP of last season Jay Feeley was cut, I am just amazed by this.
