Our new punter will be (Update pg. 38 - Martin Signed)

[Buffalo_Stampede]

If Sam Martin is in Buffalo then that’s who they’re going with. No reason to work him out.

 

Physical and sign.

Depends how much he wants. We’re not going to splash out heavily on a punter.

He wouldn’t even travel without already working that out.

Fair point - would be more than happy with Martin if it is him.

I don't know, Martin is a near-elite, proven veteran. Might just be they'll spend the money to lock that down and not have to worry about it. 

 

And I know people are quick to say it's "just a punter" but the first time we go three and out and whatever cheap, unproven guy we settle for shanks it, you're gonna have to wonder if it was worth an extra mil or two.

Worse comes to worst, they can have Keenum hold for field goals. I’m not concerned.

Who’ll punt? Guess we could go for it on every fourth down!

What exactly are the myriad of options here? Punt and get paid or not punt and not get paid. Is there another complicating factor I'm missing? I guess maybe other teams with punters could be vying for his services? Or at least his representation wants it to seem that way so the Bills don't get silly with the hometown discount angle. I grew up on Grand Island too, you'd have to pay me more to go back. Especially in the winter.

As a fellow GI Viking, this hits me right in the feels. What a great place to grow up! 

 

And how cool would it be to have a former Viking punt for the Bills on a Super Bowl run? It’s meant to be!

 

You know you miss Adrian’s beef on weck! Haha

I kind of want the Bills to sign Cameron Dicker because it will be easy to have fun with his name.

 

Id like to add him to PS at very least as he can kick and punt. He could be a backup for both.

Denver asked him to take a paycut and Martin said no.

You mean innocent stuff like "Dicker the Kicker", right?

The best option. Make it so.
