BobbyC81 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 What the hell? He had the league's 4th highest average but it seems like a wasted use of the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) wow. that is crazy. The tag is something like 2.4 million I think. Seems a bit high for a punter. Plus, how much punting do they plan on doing with Luck as QB??!? Edited March 1, 2013 by RyanC883 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Maybe they were afraid the Bills would snap him up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 McAfee is a valued member of the team. Extremely popular here in Indy. The were determined to keep him. Local talk radio it was mentioned this was a formality, that they will negotiate a long term contract before training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 What the hell?

What the heck, our punter was the most popular member of the team and we cut him. How is the Colts punter so popular? Was he a basketball star in indy before being a punter?

Nitro Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 McAfee does alot of local media, radio ads, hospital visits and other PR. Folks here love him because he is a regular guy. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its easy to tag them and work on other FAs in the meantime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
