Bills did not claim Chrisman

Bills did not panic? Something must not be right.

So, we can't go free agency (you know, the way we acquired Poyer and Hyde to begin with), someone already on the roster or a lower round draft pick?

How did that work last year at CB?

I wouldn't really have expected us to claim a punter, I'd expect they try to sign one today at a possibly lower rate.

[TOboy]

Yeah, WGR reporting Martin is here for a visit.

We lost the season opener last year due to a blocked punt (and returned for TD)

Having watched and rewound that play like the Zapruder film my takeaway was that block was more on Matakevitch than it was the punter

Younger then Kern and I would guess about equal, I like.

Better gross and net average despite 28 kicks inside the 20 (versus 17 for Kern).  I think he'll sign.

You'll have to narrow it down a bit - Ricky Martin, Steve Martin, Max Martin, Chris Martin, Todd Martin, George RR Martin...?

Why not Martin Short, Martin Scorsese, Martin Sheen,...?

[Bills2022]

Pretty much anyone will do.  There is a greater supply of solid NFL punters than there are spots.  My guess is 50 guys can punt adequately in the NFL and there are only 32 spots.  It is the exact opposite of the QB position.

Honestly? Lost the will to live.

The use of past tense in "hosted" instead of "are hosting" is interesting. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but to me it implies he left without a contract.

 

Wonder if Kern is just playing hardball in negotiations and they're still keeping their options open. Because it would appear to me that if Kern is out, Martin is a no-brainer.

Perhaps Martin is asking too much considering the cap space. Maybe we'll move on to Berry, Long, Newsome etc.
