Kai Forbath beat out Connor Barth in a close race for the New Orleans Saints kicker job. The Saints released Barth on Saturday, but Barth won't be out of work for long.
Barth will join the Bears on Monday as their new kicker, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Chicago released longtime kicker Robbie Gould on Sunday.
Barth successfully connected on his two field goal attempts with the Saints during the preseason games. Barth certainly pushed Forbath for the Saints job. Ultimately, the Saints decided to stick with incumbent.
