John Kasay will officially retire today. The longtime kicker, an original Panther, expected to sign a one-day contract and retire as a Panther.

The Garrett Hartley vs. John Kasay kicker race for the Saints will be won during preseason games and not the practice field as both players are proven veterans, even though Kasay is much more veteran than Hartley.

They've rotated on every kick during the preseason regardless of situation. But it's ended up with Kasay seeing the vast majority of field-goal attempts so far. The lefty is 2 of 4 on field goal tries in his first two games as he made kicks from 22 and 46 yards while missing from 41 and 54 yards. Hartley connected on his only attempt with a 27-yard kick.

Even though both kickers are listed as No. 1 on the depth chart, Kasay probably will have to beat out Hartley considering age and that Hartley has four years left on his latest contract. So it's Hartley's job judging by the early numbers.

Fantasy Impact:

The winner of this battle will likely be a highly-coveted kicker in your league. The only problem is the Saints are too good at converting drives into TDs, but regardless, whomever wins will get a lot of chances and points.

In 2011, just before the NFL and its players went their separate ways for five months, the New Orleans Saints signed kicker Garrett Hartley to a long-term, $10.3 million contract.

And then in August, the kicker injured himself on a routine kick, an extra point that proved anything but routine.

So in came veteran kicker John Kasay, a 41-year-old veteran whom the Carolina Panthers believed was past his prime.

All Kasay did for the Saints was finish with the most points he has ever had. His 34 field goals was 10th-most in the NFL and tied for third-most in his career.

He went 28-for-34 in his first year with the Saints, including 2 of 5 from 50-plus yards. The Saints rewarded his consistency this offseason with another contract.

The question now is what the Saints do with the position. Carrying an extra kicker isn’t out of the ordinary for New Orleans. But it is a luxury, one most teams can’t afford.

The youngster is likely the first-team kicker heading into camp. But Kasay is there nipping on his heels. If the Saints can afford the roster spot, we see both at least starting the season with the team.

Fantasy Impact:

Kicker by committee? Let's hope this gets situated before drafts, because any Saints kicker given the starting job will have value in this high-scoring offense.
