Today's Immaculate Grid will look at players representing the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints. These players appeared in regular season games for both franchises.
The most popular option is Brett Maher, a veteran kicker who represented the Cowboys, Saints, Cleveland Browns, Washington Commanders, Houston Texans, and Arizona Cardinals. Currently, he plays for the Denver Broncos. Maher entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2013.
Following the 2013 NFL Draft, in which he wasn't selected, Maher was signed by the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent. However, he was eventually waved before the 2013 season. He bounced around practice squads and even played in Canada before finally earning a spot on a regular-season NFL roster.

He had his first shot of NFL action with the Dallas Cowboys, as the franchise surprised fans and analysts by making Maher their starting kicker for the 2018 season. That was a decent call, as he finished the season with a stat line of 29-of-36 field goals (80.6%), 32-of-33 extra points, and 67.5% touchbacks of his kickoffs.
His second season with the Cowboys was poor compared to the first. Maher finished the season converting just 20-of-30 field goals (67%), 7-of-13 (54%) on attempts between 30 and 49 yards, missing at least one attempt in 8 of 13 games and making all 36 extra points.
He left the Cowboys at the end of the 2019 season. Then he played for the New Orleans Saints, Arizona Cardinals and also made a return to Dallas.
