McVay stated so much when Hekker took a reduction in pay. I too wanted to keep Corey Bojorquez, however, Hekker was great for the locker room plus gave them options for fake punts & was an excellent holder. Some have written part of Mason Crosby's issue this year has been because of their holder which is Bojorquez.
Now, IMO, I'm sure maybe Wolford could hold, but Hekker IMO has lost some leg strength & the Rams will most likely look for someone else next year, but I did not have an issue keeping Hekker at the time, although I loved Bojorquez and was very upset the Rams traded him to Green Bay. Again I understood the decision, but I hold onto that Matt Gay has been outstanding & Hekker holding was one less adjustment that Gay had to make with a new deep snapper in Matt Orzech.
