VIDEO: Kai Forbath Drilling Deep Kicks This Offseason Proves Competition With Greg Zuerlein Will Be Intense
By Scott Rogust
The 2019 Dallas Cowboys were an absolute mess, despite all of the incredible talent they had on their roster. While the offense and defense underperformed when it mattered most, their greatest weakness was on special teams, especially with kicking. Dallas removed Brett Maher and added Kai Forbath, who provided stability in the final weeks of the campaign. Even though he impressed, the Cowboys still signed Greg Zuerlein this offseason, seemingly ending Forbath's time in Dallas. But he's not ready to give up yet! Are you ready for a kicker competition in Big D?

Forbath knows just how cold NFL teams are when it comes to kicking. In 2019, he lasted just one game with the New England Patriots after missing an extra point against the Houston Texans. A week later, the Cowboys came calling to Forbath and he didn't mess up his opportunity.
In three games, Forbath was a perfect 10-for-10 in both field goal and extra-point attempts.
The #Cowboys have two kickers now:

Kai Forbath on a one-year deal.
Greg Zuerlein on a three-year deal.
Both are 32 years old.
Full-blown competition, as expected. https://t.co/2XeoBaZM8y
One will crack the opening week roster and the other will be shown the door. Based off this clip, Forbath is making sure he's fully ready for training camp so he's ready to impress the Cowboys or another NFL team.
