Player	Change	Was	Now	Date
Joe Nedney		13	NR	09/07/04
Nedney tore his ACL and has been placed on Injured Reserve. At this late date, the Titans will likely use punter Craig Hentrich on Sunday and find a free agent next week.
Steve Christie		NR	30	09/07/04
Christie was signed by the Giants .
Todd France		30	NR	09/07/04
France was released by the Giants.
Morten Andersen		NR	18	09/07/04
Andersen was signed by the Vikings.
Brett Conway		18	NR	09/07/04
Conway didn't last the week.
Bill Cundiff		30	28	09/04/04
Cundiff appears to have won the kicking competition in Dallas but don't be surprised if he doesn't last the year. Parcells wanted to use Matt Bryant but released him due to injury.
Josh Scobee		27	24	09/04/04
Scobee has held on to his job in Jacksonville.
Lawrence Tynes		NR	19	09/04/04
Tynes has won the kicking competition in Kansas City.
Morten Andersen		27	NR	09/04/04
Andersen was released by the Chiefs.
Brett Conway		NR	18	09/01/04
Conway had a quick tryout and was awarded a two-year contract to be the Vikings kicker.
Aaron Elling		27	NR	09/01/04
Elling was cut by the Vikings
Todd France		NR	25	08/29/04
France has won the kicking competition over Bill Gramatica who was released today.
Seb. Janikowsi		20	17	08/29/04
Gets a slight bump up with the Raiders offense looking better than expected overall.
Aaron Elling		17	27	08/29/04
Skip Elling in your drafts if possible. After missing an extra point and two field goals this weekend, the Vikings may bring in a new kicker this week.
Morten Andersen		15	27	08/27/04
Forget Andersen in your draft if you can. He is being challenged by Lawrence Tynes and may lose the job
Bill Cundiff		25	28	08/27/04
Cundiff is being challenged by Matt Bryant and may lose his job.
Olindo Mare		16	24	08/22/04
The Dolphins offense has looked so bad that there is no reason why you should want Mare even as a backup. While he is a talented kicker, the lack of opportunity he will likely face this season drops him deeply in the rankings.
Olindo Mare		19	16	08/07/04
Mare gets the subtle push up since he is more likely to be called on to finish drives with field goals now that Ricky Williams is gone. His extra point tries will likely decrease but his field goal attempt increase should more than compensate for it.
