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

Nugent has always been better than the kickers on several ofther NFL teams.  If we released him some other team would sign him.

That's possible, but the first kicker I looked up who came to mind was Garret Hartley (not sure why) and lo and behold he's a free agent, is 4 years younger than Nugent, and has a slightly higher FG% to boot.  I'm just saying that Nugent MIGHT be a FA by now if he didn't play for a team that used multiple franchise tags on him and seems pretty intent on keeping him around for continuity and competence.

I'm not saying we should dump Nugent, but I'm also not going to go out on a limb and just assume a 34 year old kicker would be a hot commodity outside of a team where he's put in 5 years.
