Cowboys cut kicker Brett Maher right after he spent time with sick kids at hospital

There are a lot of things wrong with the Dallas Cowboys right now, but the easiest one to fix was at kicker.

Brett Maher, who leads the NFL with 10 missed field goals, was cut on Monday. The Cowboys signed Kai Forbath to take his place, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Forbath might not be the long-term answer either, but after Maher missed a short field goal and hit a kickoff out of bounds in an ugly loss to the Chicago Bears last week, it was clear that the Cowboys needed a change.

The NFL is a cold business, and the way Maher was cut might have been the coldest way of all.
