For all who wish we kept Brown over Nugent...

Plus, his leg is not "much stronger" than Nugent.  Bullock has a career .455% on FGs over 50 yards while Nugent has hit 8 of 16 (.500) from 50+ for the Bengals.

Last year was the only year that Bullock missed an XP in his career, Nuge has missed an XP in 5 of his 11 season and of course Bullock's leg is stronger as 12% of his career attempts has come from 50+ compared to Nuge's 9% (aren't statistics fun).

However you want to slice it; their career numbers are very similar and Bullock is much younger. But somehow if we follow Fred logic: Bullock is a FA because he is worse than every other kicker in the NFL, while Nuge would get scooped up immediately if released even though he has missed 2 FGs and 1 XP so far this preseason.
