Agreed. I wonder if we may wait until Thursday or Friday before signing someone, if we run another trial day on Wednesday with those cut who we're interested in - see how they work holding for Bass etc.

Thanks. I bet the 49ers would love to trade Garoppolo to prevent him from ending up at the Seahawks.

Male pattern baldness?

I agree. But the question is, if we are looking at someone to flip the field, who are the best options available? Are there any options available?

Ignore the issues, the franchise at the draft turned round and draft a big legged punter.

In or out? In terms of in, I don't think we need anyone other than a punter who we'll pick up via free agency or waivers. In terms of out, I doubt teams will be looking to trade now - they'll want to see who we cut first.

Isn't there a cap space reason why we won't sign him until either tomorrow after 4pm or Wednesday morning?

Off Martin and Kern's stats... yes.

Spent most of his career with the Lions; has only been with the Broncos for two seasons. Yard average with the Lions (2013-2018): 46 yards Yard average with Broncos (2020-2021): 47.1 yards Brett Kern's average is 46 yards across his career; with the Broncos, between 2008 and 2009, he averaged 46.4 yards.

Go for whoever wants a better deal in terms of cap space between Kern and Martin. Going off the tweet, think it will be the former. Reckon that means the Broncos are in the Punter market as well, as I'm not sure if they'll want to go into the season with Corliss Waitman.

More the reason to consider character above everything.

Not sure what the agreement is between this site and the Buffalo News but wouldn't mind seeing all links to articles from it removed from the front page after the revelling in attacking the Bills.

Just an belief floating around that we like left footed punters - our last three (Bojo? Haack and Araiza) have all been left footed.

Love the idea of Kern. Someone from the area who would embrace the fans and culture straight away.

Allegedly worse than a jerk. But it's all alleged at this point.

How do you think those on free agency arrived there?

And if it wasn’t for… that… happening, we wouldn’t really be chasing any position.

Will we have to pay £2.5m for Kern if we pick him up after he’s been cut?

Plus I’d argue it’s a stretch to say that we would have treated every player the same. Rookie punter - relatively decision. If something had come out about the college days of an established star? Far more difficult.

Maybe average is harsh but down from the 2020 high in the regular season. Percentage passes completed down 6%, passing yards down by over 100, interceptions up by five. Of course, we then went into the post season where, as you say, the greatest back to back play off stretch in league history. If he takes the play off form into the upcoming regular season he’ll be shooting up the top 100 chart.

Mel Kiper was one; he had Stout and Camarda ahead of Araiza. This breaks down more of the issues franchises had with him - hang time, yards per return, touchbacks and, of course, holding. https://www.sportingnews.com/uk/nfl/news/nfl-draft-matt-araiza-punt-god-bills/dgmyhjvtoiyxcwqqkdaajiez John Wawrow found two franchises out of five who knew about an incident at San Diego but didn’t know the details. Beane said in the press conference he’d spoke to double figure franchises, none of whom were aware.

Until the Titans throw a curveball and cut Stonehouse.

For this season, perhaps players would have Brady and Rodgers ahead of Josh as their QB. This is going to be unpopular, but remember he had a pretty average, at best, regular season last time round - it was only in the post season where he hit fantastic form. But, long term, Josh and Mahomes would be preferred because of their age (along with the likes of Burrow and Herbert).

Feel like I’m stuck on repeat - most mock drafts had him at third or fourth punter due to questions about his holding ability and hang time. He went where he was expected to.

😄 Very much after the Beane and McDermott era, though. Out of free agency I’d say Charlton is the best bet, but would still prefer Kern should the Titans cut him.
