Umm, yes. Ja, oui, hai, si. He's gone. I hate to admit it since I grew up less than a kilometer from Suisham, but I can't imagine him back with the Dallas Cowboys next season.
This fact was punctuated earlier this week when the Cowboys auditioned kicker Sandro DeAngelis. Apparently the Cowboys like Canadian kickers as Suisham is a Wallaceburg, Ontario native, while DeAngelis hails from Niagara Falls, Ontario.
Regardless of the outcome, you can expect the versitile Suisham to rebound somewhere, whether it is in the NFL or the CFL. Starting his career playing college ball in Bowling Green, Suisham was cut loose early this season by the Washington Redskins after a devastating series of misses.
DeAngelis, who has never played a game in the NFL, does have a Grey Cup Championship to his name in the CFL with the Calgary Stampeders.
In retrospect, the Cowboys might kick themselves for releasing kicker Nick Folk.
Personally, I think Suisham has what it takes to be an NFL kicker. His leg strength is incredible, however, timely misses have plagued him over the past year.
