Player Notes

September 1, 2008
Olindo Mare will start the season opener Sunday against the Bills, according to the Seattle Times. The team kept Brandon Coutu on the roster, and he did not miss a field goal attempt in the preseason, but the Seahawks opted to go with Mare for Week 1. Mare held an edge for the job as he gets better distance on his kickoffs, and he said, "I know it was good for me to have a guy like Brandon in camp. I'm sure experience has something to do with it, and I'm sure kickoffs had a lot to do with it."

The Seahawks signed Olindo Mare to a two-year-deal last week, but they will look at the top kickers in the draft if they're available in the later rounds, according to the Tacoma News Tribune. Mare still has a very strong leg but has been extremely inaccurate in recent years. It sounds as if he'll have some competition for the starting job.

March 27, 2008
Olindo Mare completed a two-day visit with the Denver Broncos yesterday, but the meeting wasn't enough to prevent him from getting on a plane to visit the Seattle Seahawks, according to the Denver Post. "I wouldn't say that there wasn't enough to make me sign here because I had a great time. I loved it and all that. But obviously when you have options, it's good to explore them all," Mare said. "I'm lucky that the teams who are interested are pretty much winning programs and on their way to the playoffs. That's a big part of what I want to be a part of right now." The Broncos attempted to get Mare to sign on the dotted line during his stay but couldn't sway him - at least for now.

March 24, 2008
The Denver Broncos are finalizing plans to meet this week with kicker Olindo Mare, according to the Rocky Mountain News. Mare, 34, who is recovering from a season-ending hip injury, made 10-of-17 field-goal attempts in 2007.

With Jason Elam signing with the Atlanta Falcons on Friday, the Denver Post reports that the Broncos are interested in talking with veteran free agents Olindo Mare and John Carney. It's also a possibility the team will use a second day draft pick on a kicker. The Denver Post reports that the top kicking prospects are Wisconsin's Taylor Mehlhaff and Georgia's Brandon Coutu.

February 28, 2008
The New Orleans Saints have released place kicker Olindo Mare, according to CBS Sports. Mare, who ended the 07 campaign on injured reserve, reportedly failed a physical resulting in his departure from the Big Easy.
