Maher signed a reserve/future contract with the Cardinals on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maher signed to the Cardinals' practice squad on Christmas Day and will now get an opportunity to stick with the team throughout the offseason. Veteran kicker Zane Gonzalez is slated to enter free agency this offseason, which could open the door to Maher in the future.

The Cardinals signed Maher to the practice squad Friday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zane Gonzalez (back) is out for the rest of the regular season, and Mike Nugent has taken his place as the Cardinals' starting kicker in the meantime. Nugent has been perfect, hitting all five field-goal attempts and all six extra-point tries, so Maher is merely an emergency kicker option as the Cardinals make their playoff push. The 31-year-old played 13 games for Dallas last year, connecting on 20 of 30 field-goal attempts and all 36 extra-point tries.

Maher visited the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maher was cut from the Texans' practice squad Monday. He could immediately fit in with the Buccaneers, who currently have kicker Ryan Succop on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Maher has enough time to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols and kick for the Buccaneers in Sunday's game against the Falcons. He last played for the Cowboys in 2019, when he made 20 of 30 field-goal attempts (67 percent) and all 36 extra-point tries.

Maher was cut from the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maher has been with Houston's practice squad since mid-October, but his run in the organization came without a regular-season appearance. Ka'imi Fairbairn has been able to avoid missing any time thus far in 2020, keeping Maher from the field. The Nebraska product struggled during his second season with the Cowboys in 2019, converting just 20 of 30 field-goal tries.

The Texans signed Maher to the practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Houston's starting kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been perfect over the last three weeks, drilling nine field goals and nine extra points without a miss. Maher will add depth in case things get derailed. Last season with the Cowboys, Maher connected on 20 of 30 field goals and hit all 36 extra-point attempts.

The Texans recently brought Maher in for a visit, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Houston's current placekicker, Ka'imi Fairbairn, has missed just one kick in 2020 and is successful on 83.8 percent of his field-goal attempts during his career. It's unclear if Houston is looking to make a change. Maher has spent time with the Jets, Cowboys, the Browns and the Washington football team during his time in the NFL, and he's also put in time in the Canadian Football League.

Washington released Maher from the practice squad Wednesday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maher spent most of September on Washington's practice squad, but he'll now need to search for a reserve role with another club. He appeared in 29 games with the Cowboys from 2018 to 2019.

Maher joined Washington's practice squad Thursday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maher stands to provide Washington with emergency depth behind Dustin Hopkins. He appeared in 13 contests with the Cowboys last season, converting 20 of 30 field-goal tries.

The Jets released Maher on Monday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sam Ficken is left as the lone kicker on the roster, while Maher will hope to catch on elsewhere at some point this season. The transaction frees up a roster spot for veteran wideout Donte Moncrief.

Maher is competing with Sam Ficken for the Jets' starting kicking job, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maher was released by the Cowboys after missing 10 of his 30 field-goal attempts through 13 games last season. In joining the Jets, he's aiming to regain a starting job at the expense of Ficken, who struggled himself last term, missing 11 kicks in 15 appearances for New York.
