If we're close enough to be able to pin a team inside the 10 with a directional punt, we should be going for it on 4th down - not punting.

 

Therefore, there's no point in having a punter like that unless McDermott wants to get conservative this season.

If it's not 4th and short and we're outside of FG range why would we not want to have someone who can pin it inside the 10?

Name 10 active punters in the NFL today. Don’t worry, you are far from alone…

And I can probably name every teams WR3 or RB2 and list their 40 times. Lol.

[wppete]

He has to be the guy. Get it done and move on. Hopefully we never talk about a punter ever again. 

[Rc2catch]

I mean the punter market basically just boomed with Kern and also Sam Martin getting released. There’s plenty of great options and buffalo is more than likely upgrading over the previous punters we had rostered

A guy who refused to take a pay cut and kicks in the high elevation of Denver.  No thanks.

Not if you are talking popcorn...  Get your popcorn ready because this kernal is going to pop

We don't have the cap room.  Barkley will have to punt.

[Success]

So, after all that, we'll still be upgrading that position.  Good.

We have plenty of cap room with restructuring Dawkins.  I'm guessing Araiza's contract wasn't guaranteed either

[Cheektowaga Chad]

I want a punter that can flip field position

 

Don't really care about pinning a team deep as I would like to see the bills go for it on fourth almost all the time once near mid field

Personally anything under 4th and 10 at mid field, I'd like to see the bills go for it

It was not, and as it's an after-June 1 cut the Bills have moved part of his modest signing bonus to next year's cap.  We are carrying $52k dead money for Araiza.

 

Since Kern has been cut, we do not have to pick up his previous salary. 

 

Spotrac shows the Bills currently with $10.7M top-51 cap, -$6.96M overall cap.  Since "overall cap" is what matters when the "top 51" rule expires, it's a little hard to guess, but if I take my shot at the 53 man roster then add a reasonable guess for practice squad, I come up wiith $4-4.6M cap space.
