Outside of the "double doink" to end his time with the Bears, not sure why he's jumped from team to team like he has. Someone who keeps up with NFL better than I do - do kickers usually move around this much?

He had a huge contract w/ the Bears w/ over 9 million guaranteed. After the Double Doink game, he went on national TV just 4 days after that heartbreaking loss to discuss it.
The Bears management had not been notified by him, and they didn't think he should be discussing it, especially when the city and players were trying to heal from that tough loss. It was just bad optics.

I feel that is what set him back in the league after the Bears let him go.
And now he is making about 200k in hopes of sticking with the Browns.
