News

  • No opportunities on Thanksgiving

    Maher didn't attempt a field goal or PAT during Thursday's 31-6 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: New Orleans' Trevor Siemian-led offense had immense difficulty moving the ball against the Bills' elite defense. When the Saints were finally able to find the end zone, they went for two. As long as Alvin Kamara (knee) is sidelined and Siemian remains under center, Maher shouldn't be considered for fantasy purposes.

  • Misses PAT in Saints debut

    Maher converted his lone field-goal attempt but went two-of-three on PATs during Sunday's 40-29 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: In making his Saints debut, Maher's missed extra point blemished a modest performance that included a field goal of just 28 yards. If Alvin Kamara (knee) remains sidelined in Week 12, it wouldn't be wise to see if a Trevor Siemian-led offense will present Maher with more opportunities against Buffalo's top-ranked defense.

  • New kicker in NOLA

    The Saints signed Maher off their practice squad Friday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: New Orleans waived Brian Johnson in a corresponding move, clearing the way for Maher to take over as the team's kicker beginning with Sunday's game in Philadelphia. It's the 31-year-old Maher's second stint on the roster in 2021, as he previously competed for the kicking job in the preseason before being waived in late August on an injury settlement. Over 29 career regular-season games -- all with Dallas -- Maher has converted at a subpar 74.2 percent clip on field-goal attempts, though he has…read more

  • Joins Saints' practice squad

    The Saints signed Maher to their practice squad Tuesday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Maher has yet to kick in a game this season, though he spent time with New Orleans during the preseason prior to suffering an injury. He could become the team's new kicker as early as Sunday's matchup against the Eagles after Brian Johnson missed two extra-point attempts in Week 10 against the Titans.

  • To work out with Cowboys

    Maher will get a workout with the Cowboys soon, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Maher spent time with the Cowboys in 2018 and 2019. Most recently he spent training camp with the Saints, but he was waived with an injury settlement. Greg Zuerlein (COVID-19) is expected to miss Week 10 against the Falcons, sending the Cowboys looking for a replacement.

  • Tries out with Indy

    Maher (groin) had a workout with the Colts on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Maher spent time with New Orleans in training camp before suffering the groin injury and being cut, and he's now attempting to secure a job with a new team. The 31-year-old last kicked in 2019 for the Cowboys, going 20-for-30 on field goals while making all 36 PATs.

  • Waived with injury settlement

    Maher (groin) was waived from injured reserve by the Saints with an injury settlement Saturday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: Maher was on IR, but with this move New Orleans is responsible to pay him until he's healed. The 31-year-old hasn't played in the NFL since 2019, and his future in the league is uncertain.

  • Reverts to IR

    Maher (groin) reverted to the Saints' injured reserve Tuesday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Maher picked up a groin injury shortly after signing with New Orleans on Aug. 9, and he'll shift to injured reserve after being waived/injured Monday. The Saints will need to bring in another kicker to fill in for Wil Lutz, who is expected to be sidelined into October after undergoing core muscle surgery.

  • Waived/injured by Saints

    Maher (groin) was waived/injured by the Saints on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football

    Analysis: Maher was brought in to replace Wil Lutz (abdomen) until his expected return in October. However, he suffered a groin injury that has now resulted in him being let go. Should he go unclaimed on waivers, he will revert back to the team's injured reserve.

  • Links up with Saints

    Maher is signing a contract with New Orleans on Monday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Maher will fill in for Will Lutz (abdomen) for the time being, though the Saints will probably also bring in additional kicking help. Lutz is set for core muscle surgery that could carry an 8-to-12-week recovery timetable, in which case New Orleans would need a replacement for a handful of regular-season games. Maher appeared in 29 games with the Cowboys from 2018-19.

  • Cut by Arizona

    Maher was waived by Arizona on Saturday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Maher joined the team on a reserve/future contract in January and was expected to compete for the starting job after Zane Gonzalez hit free agency. However, that need for the team disappeared after it signed Matt Prater on Saturday, leaving Maher to look for a new team in free agency.

  • Staying in Arizona

    Maher signed a reserve/future contract with the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Maher signed to the Cardinals' practice squad on Christmas Day and will now get an opportunity to stick with the team throughout the offseason. Veteran kicker Zane Gonzalez is slated to enter free agency this offseason, which could open the door to Maher in the future.

  • Signs with practice squad

    The Cardinals signed Maher to the practice squad Friday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Zane Gonzalez (back) is out for the rest of the regular season, and Mike Nugent has taken his place as the Cardinals' starting kicker in the meantime. Nugent has been perfect, hitting all five field-goal attempts and all six extra-point tries, so Maher is merely an emergency kicker option as the Cardinals make their playoff push. The 31-year-old played 13 games for Dallas last year, connecting on 20 of 30 field-goal attempts and all 36 extra-point tries.

  • Gets look in Tampa Bay

    Maher visited the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.

    Analysis: Maher was cut from the Texans' practice squad Monday. He could immediately fit in with the Buccaneers, who currently have kicker Ryan Succop on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Maher has enough time to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols and kick for the Buccaneers in Sunday's game against the Falcons. He last played for the Cowboys in 2019, when he made 20 of 30 field-goal attempts (67 percent) and all 36 extra-point tries.

  • Parts ways with Texans

    Maher was waived from the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Maher has been with Houston's practice squad since mid-October, but his run in the organization came without a regular-season appearance. Ka'imi Fairbairn has been able to avoid missing any time thus far in 2020, keeping Maher from the field. The Nebraska product struggled during his second season with the Cowboys in 2019, converting just 20 of 30 field-goal tries.

  • Heads to Houston

    The Texans signed Maher to the practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Houston's starting kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been perfect over the last three weeks, drilling nine field goals and nine extra points without a miss. Maher will add depth in case things get derailed. Last season with the Cowboys, Maher connected on 20 of 30 field goals and hit all 36 extra-point attempts.

  • Visits with Texans

    The Texans recently brought Maher in for a visit, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Houston's current placekicker, Ka'imi Fairbairn, has missed just one kick in 2020 and is successful on 83.8 percent of his field-goal attempts during his career. It's unclear if Houston is looking to make a change. Maher has spent time with the Jets, Cowboys, the Browns and the Washington football team during his time in the NFL, and he's also put in time in the Canadian Football League.

  • Cut from practice squad

    Washington released Maher from the practice squad Wednesday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Maher spent most of September on Washington's practice squad, but he'll now need to search for a reserve role with another club. He appeared in 29 games with the Cowboys from 2018 to 2019.

  • Cut loose by Jets

    The Jets released Maher on Monday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Sam Ficken is left as the lone kicker on the roster, while Maher will hope to catch on elsewhere at some point this season. The transaction frees up a roster spot for veteran wideout Donte Moncrief.

  • Competing for job

    Maher is competing with Sam Ficken for the Jets' starting kicking job, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Maher was released by the Cowboys after missing 10 of his 30 field-goal attempts through 13 games last season. In joining the Jets, he's aiming to regain a starting job at the expense of Ficken, who struggled himself last term, missing 11 kicks in 15 appearances for New York.

  • Signs futures contract with Jets

    Maher signed a reserve/futures contract with the Jets.

    Analysis: Maher struggled with the Cowboys this season, making just 20 of his 30 field-goal tries in 13 games before getting cut in favor of Kai Forbath. The former Cornhusker will get a shot at redemption with New York in 2020.

  • Works out with Rams

    The Rams held a workout for Maher this week, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Greg Zuerlein, the team's long-time kicker, has been unable to practice this week due to a strained quadriceps. Listed as questionable for Saturday's game in San Francisco, he's slated to suit up, but ultimately his availability will be determined Friday, when he'll kick for the first time this week, per Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com. If things don't go as planned, Maher appears to be the contingency plan following his recent tryout.

  • Let go by Cowboys

    The Cowboys cut Maher on Monday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Maher, who missed one of his two field-goal attempts Week 14, made 20 of his 30 tries overall this season, while adding 36 extra points (in as many tries) prior to being cut. He'll be replaced by Kai Forbath.

  • Facing more competition

    The Cowboys are again hosting free agent kickers for workouts Monday, indicating that Maher's position with the team may not be secure, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Maher has missed a league-leading 10 field goals this season, prompting Dallas to bring in Kai Forbath, Tristan Vizcaino and Nick Rose for workouts. The team also worked out three kickers last week. Coming off a three-game losing streak, the Cowboys may opt to cut Maher in the hopes of landing a more reliable kicker.

  • May lose job after another miss

    Coach Jason Garrett suggested Maher could lose his job after another poor showing in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Bears, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. "We decided to give Brett an opportunity this week," Garrett said Friday. "It didn't work out. So we have to take a real close, hard look at that."

    Analysis: The Cowboys brought in three kickers at the beginning of the week but decided not to sign any of them. Maher then failed to connect on a field goal Thursday, pushing his league-high total to 10 misses for the season. Impressive leg strength may not be enough to save his job this time around, with the Cowboys presumably hoping to find someone more reliable.

  • Keeping kicking job

    Maher will remain the Cowboys' kicker for the team's upcoming game Thursday versus the Bears, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After Maher missed two field goals in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Bills to drop to a 67.8 percent FG rate for the season, Dallas brought three kickers in for workouts over the weekend. The team's brass apparently decided that sticking with Maher was the best option for another week, though he won't exactly have a favorable bounce-back spot as the Cowboys head outdoors to Soldier Field.

  • Job on notice after rough outing

    The Cowboys are working out three kickers Sunday, an indication that Maher's standing on the 53-man roster could be on shaky ground, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: After missing seven field-goal attempts in the Cowboys' first 11 games, Maher might have hit a new low in Dallas' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Bills. Though he knocked down his lone extra-point try, Maher had a 35-yard field-goal attempt blocked late in the second quarter and was a wide right on an attempt from 47 yards in the third quarter. Dallas will evaluate the auditioning kickers Sunday and could sign one of the trio, a development that would likely spell an end to Maher's time in the…read more

  • Keeps job despite struggles

    Maher will continue as the Cowboys' kicker, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Even though coach Jason Garrett said the club would evaluate the kicker position after Thursday's loss to the Bills, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the team would stand by Maher after he missed both of his field-goal tries in the loss. The 29-year-old has made just 19 of his 28 field-goal attempts on the year and has missed three in the last two games, both Dallas losses.

  • Scores all Cowboys points in loss

    Maher connected on three of four field goals in Sunday's 13-9 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Kicking in fairly miserable conditions on a rainy day in Foxboro, Maher missed from 46 yards out midway through the first quarter but bounced back to successfully convert his remaining chances. It was the first time all year the Cowboys failed to score a touchdown, so don't be surprised if Maher gets more PATs and fewer FGs in Week 13's home tilt against the Bills.

  • Perfect in win over Lions

    Maher connected on both his field-goal attempts and all three of his PATs in Sunday's 35-27 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: The field goals were from 30 and 34 yards. It's only the fourth time all year Maher has booted multiple field goals, but his fantasy potential remains strong riding shotgun for a dynamic Cowboys offense -- he's gotten multiple FG attempts in six straight games and converted at least three PATs in eight of 10 contests.

  • Crucial miss against Vikings

    Maher connected on one of two field-goal attempts and all three of his extra points in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: The Cowboys' first drive of the night stalled at the Minnesota 39-yard line, and Maher ended up missing the ensuing 57-yard FG attempt -- setting up the Vikings for their first TD of the night after they exploited the excellent field position. The Dallas kicker did boot a 23-yarder in the fourth quarter, however. Maher has converted only 70 percent (14-for-20) of his field-goal opportunities this season, but four of the six misses have come from 50-plus yards, and he's a perfect 29-for-29 on…read more

  • Productive in Monday's win

    Maher connected on three of four field-goal attempts while converting all four of his PATs in Monday's win over the Giants.

    Analysis: The miss was from 54 yards late in the first quarter, but Maher made up for it by drilling a 52-yarder right before halftime. The second-year kicker's 72.2 percent success rate on FGs (13-for-18) through eight games looks sketchy, but three of his five misses have come from 50 yards or more (4-for-7 in total from that range) and he's been successful on all 26 of his extra points.
