Prater Gets Paid

Looks like the Donks decided to spend big bucks at a position not so accustomed to seven figures: kicker. Peyton Manning will be happy to know that there won't be any "idiot kicker" here in Denver as Matt Prater inked a big time four year deal (Prater's real ink on his right arm appears to be some weird fusion of trigonometry and Hawaiian culture, which makes sense since he's from Florida.)

While it may seem counter productive to spend serious cream on a guy who plays about 10% of the team's total plays, this move is a smart one. Prater can boom the long FGs (dudes in those wack Fantasy Leagues that award more points for longer FGs stroke themselves over him) and almost as important is his touchback percentage. Remember that Tebow guy? Yep, he was pretty dramatic, but without Prater he'd been some losing starting QB.
