Kicker Nick Folk had to take off his Dallas Cowboys jersey to find a new job with another team after leading the NFL with 10 misses, going 18 of 28 and missing seven of his past 11. Soon after cutting him, the Cowboys signed a former Cowboys, Shaun Suisham to replace him.
Suisham previously kicked for Dallas in 2005 and 2006. He was released by the Washington Redskins on Dec. 8 after missing a key kick—the same problem that cost Folk his job Monday, when he clanged the right upright on an easy 24-yarder that would have put away Saturday night’s 24-17 victory against the unbeaten Saints and caused the Cowboys to have to make one more stand against one of the league’s best offenses.
The reason for Suisham being released is also related to the New Orleans Saints. Suisham was released by the Redskins in great part after he missed a short field goal against the Saints. Suisham played in three games for Cowboys in 2005 and was 3 of 4 on field goals before being released. Back with Dallas in 2006, he played in three games and was 1 for 2 before again being cut.
