More Whiny Kvetching.

sorry that I question our almighty front office. I didn’t know criticism was banned here.

[First Round Bust]

ugh I didnt realize our punting was that bad - worst in league - worst than Percy Harvin ?

 

Still think a 7th rounder is worth a P pick

[Mark92]

Ugh.... 25 yard punts don't put your defense in a good spot

Lol good luck with your stance. It’s so prudent to sign players middle of the road salaries for bottom tier production. Is it any wonder why we don’t win Lombardis lol.

A fifth or 6th round pick would cost about $600K so the savings is not that much. I would have cut him and just drafted a punter.  If the salary is not guaranteed then I’m ok with keeping him on the roster for now.

I like how people are saying that this is a good move because the team can cut him this fall, lol. If that's the best you can say about him...

I think they want to draft a punter. You can’t go into the draft with with nobody on the roster and people knowing you need a guy, so keeping Haack on the roster feels like a safety net and a bit of a smokescreen. Its a pay cut, essentially. 

 

We hope!

We have another punter on the roster in Jaimie Gillian.  The Hack, Gillian and whoever else they acquire will fight it out for the roster spot.

He signed with the Giants

This tells me that they are most likely drafting a punter, or signing one as an UDFA.

I expect there to be a camp battle for the job.

Beane essentially told us that too.

Personally I won’t be happy unless he pays back his salary from last season

Which I’m ok with. It’s high time we acquire better talent at multiple positions this off-season. If that means spending a 3rd or 4th on Araiza so be it.

Spotrac now has details:

 

$1.035M salary (non-guaranteed)

$75k roster bonus to be paid on 3/18

$25k work out bonus 

 

Still some dead money from his signing bonus to account for - $700k total, spread out over this year and next. 

[Bangarang]

Punter battle this summer! Let see how they hang boys!

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

Haack shouldn't even be given an option to compete. He's the worst punter in the NFL. Why are you even opening yourself up to the possibility of keeping him?

 

Beane and McDermott have a loyalty problem.

And more dumbage from you.

 

Consistency is a virtue, sometimes. Not so much when it's consistency in not getting it.

 

What happened here is that we renegotiated his deal so that he has nothing guaranteed, actually $75K. He's essentially a camp body.

 

He actually saved a bit of money this year on the cap by re-signing as they also put a void year on the end and moved $350K to that void year, according to overthecap.

 

And you use that to figure that now you know why we don't win Lombardis!! How old are you? Seriously. Are you 12 or below? If you are, I'll definitely treat your brilliant conclusions with much less disdain.

I don't think this is relevant. It is such a small guarantee, they will cut him eventually imo. He is the fall back plan in case they can't get their guy imo. 

Why would the worst punter in the league be your fallback plan? Bring in someone else.

Because they save $350K this year on the cap, getting him to sign this and adding a void year?

 

Because he's not the worst punter around, he was just - by that particular measure - the worst starter, and bringing in a guy who couldn't even start would be even worse?

 

Because bringing in someone better would likely mean giving some guaranteed money for a team that may well draft a guy and get someone cheap in that way, requiring paying a guarantee to a guy you think you'll probably cut in camp?

 

Nah, couldn't be any of those. Because ... stuff

 

This is a remarkably tiny little issue. People getting upset about it says far more about them than it does about Beane.
