Brand J Posted August 28, 2022 Posted August 28, 2022 Haack apparently had a hugely successful debut punting against the Bucs. Colts announcers were gushing over him and saying he needed a nickname. At least for Haack he gets to punt in a dome. He can’t handle the elements. 1 Quote

Expand That’s why I would go after Kevin Huber when cut. Or just sign Jordan Berry now. Both have experience punting and holding in poor conditions. Edited August 28, 2022 by Buffalo_Stampede Quote

A punter like Kern could be a could be a million or 2 more than some other punters cap wise. Expand If Kern is signed as a free agent, Tenn is on the hook for any unamortized signing bonus ($550K), and the Bills can negotiate what they are willing to pay, as can any other team. Doubt anyone will trade for a punter under contract with a $2.2mm salary. Quote

HamSandwhich Posted August 28, 2022 Posted August 28, 2022 I think it will either be Einhorn or Finkle. I know unconventional given they are place kickers but I just have a feeling about either one! Quote

What was his deal exactly? He was a top punter in the league and then he was a bit of a distraction and was gone? I can't find anything about an injury or drop in performance. Honestly sounds like he was so annoying that it pushed him out of the league. Expand I remember he got a lot of penalties for dumb stuff like taunting and other preventable stuff. I think he had some good kicks, but lacked consistency. Kind of like Bojo. He got popular because of his unique personality and story, not because he was an elite punter. After being cut by the Raiders unexpectedly, the Broncos signed him and he wasn't great. He was placed on IR and then cut. And that's the last we saw of him. Quote

I would pay up to get the fella (probably Kern) that is let go. Unfortunate, but this is not a year to have subpar if there is a way to remedy a bad situation. 1 Quote

What we don’t want is a bad punter that has punts blocked and drops a key hold. There isn’t much difference between a great punter and a below average punter. Jordan Berry will be just fine. Quote
