They also have cameras everywhere at TC. They track the players every move during drills, on the sidelines, etc. I believe every team has these. Probably some QC coach who watches that film and reports on that to the staff.
Reid Ferguson said yesterday he didn’t think it would take long for a new punter to get acclimated. Not sure if he’s just being optimistic but he seemed confident.
The failure was in the pro scouting process and decision to sign him at all, and to that deal. But it’s wise to recognize that error and cut your losses early instead of doubling down on a player that doesn’t fit and isn’t going to help your team. The money is spent either way.
If they don’t get chrisman via the waiver wire it will come down to Sam Martin (who also wants a ton of money) and those guys they worked out earlier this week I guess.

Howard didn’t do enough to make the team, it’s that simple. He got beat out by Morris for TE2 and if you are going to be kept as TE3 you need to play on teams, which he does not. It’s pretty clear he was the worst of the TEs in camp.
