Kai Forbath
K,
Unsigned Free Agent
Free agent K Kai Forbath is among several kickers working out for the Cowboys on Monday.
Forbath, who just finished a one-game stint with the Patriots, will be joined by Nick Rose and Tristan Vizcaino. The Cowboys stuck with Brett Maher despite missing two kicks in a Thanksgiving loss to Buffalo, though his latest implosion Thursday night in Chicago may have sealed his fate once and for all. Forbath, who shanked an extra point in his lone appearance for New England in Week 13, would not be an improvement.

Brett Maher
K,
Unsigned Free Agent
Cowboys waived K Brett Maher.
"We decided to give Brett an opportunity this week. It didn't work out," coach Jason Garrett bluntly stated following Maher's missed try — his league-high 10th whiff of the year — against the Bears. It's not a stretch to claim Maher would've been ousted by 31 other teams back in the preseason, let alone waiting until Week 15 to make a change. Maher finishes his campaign hitting just 66.7% of his field goal attempts this year, including an abysmal 1-for-5 on tries

Cowboys signed K Kai Forbath.
In typical Cowboys fashion, the organization prioritized familiarity when making a change — Forbath, of course, took part in Dallas' training camp in 2011 but was eventually released the following year for Dan Bailey. Forbath has kicked for five different teams since then, successfully sinking 85.8 percent of his field goal tries. He made his only field goal, a 23-yard shot, in his lone appearance with the Patriots this year.

Ya gotta think Dan Bailey is thanking his lucky stars he's not in Jurrah's domain this year.
