Perhaps it's time to bring K Josh Brown back to the Queen City. A lot of folks on here wanted us to keep him back when Nuge was going downhill, but instead he went on to play in the Pro Bowl that season for the Giants. The guy had plenty of leg and was accurate as hell from just about anywhere.
At las, that's the last we heard of him. The tabloids came out that he had a rather tough relationship with his ex wife back in '16 and he hasn't been given an opportunity to play the game he loves (and excels at) ever since.

First of all:
Accuracy:
Brown: 83.9% (over 300 attempts)
Nuge': 81.4% (over 300 attempts)
Fat Randy: 82.4% (under 150 attempts)
Long:
Brown: 58 (hadn't made that since his rookie year and that was in a dome, 55 since 2009)
Nuge': 55 (made that twice, in the playoffs for us in 2014 and 2017)
Fat Randy 55 (made in a dome)
Brown is MARGINALLY better than Nuge', unless you add 50+ and then Brown is the clear winner. Brown and Nuge' both got better as they got older and Nuge' started hitting longer ones as he got older, while Brown became more accurate (MUCH more accurate).
Then, when you add the fact that Brown is a (repeated) wife-beater, I would actually be in favour of bringing Nuge' back, than continue with Fat Randy...
... but I want someone better than Nuge', anyways :)
