Coach Tuesday Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) This is where I dial in to the opinion poll, wait on hold for 8 minutes, then select “3 - UNDECIDED.” Edited February 5, 2021 by Coach Tuesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I'd be willing to keep him on a 3 - 4 year deal. I'd prefer signing him instead of tendering a one year offer. I would rather lock him up for a few years and spread out the cap hit. Bass is still cheap. So spending some money on the punter is fine. I'd favor spending on Bojo and letting Roberts walk. At some point these threads have to be about who you let go to make room for keeping guys. I like Roberts but any UDFA can do what he does. They will not be able to afford Roberts as a 6th WR next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. K Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Why add a hole on the roster. He has been solid for the team outside of his occasional clunker. Arent punters lower on the pay scale regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I don't expect the Bills to punt next season, but if they have to in garbage time or something, sure.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) He had one of the best net punt avg. this year. In 19, he caught a ton of flack for the botched punt against the Pats. It really wasn’t his fault. Our ST coach, Farwell wasn’t adjusting to block when the opposition would rush 9 or 10. We got away with only 8 blocking against the Jets and Giants, but Belichick picked up on it. He rushed 10 and between that and Reid gave a bad snap to Bojo, that s why we lost that game. The only reason I knew it is one of the Boston Globe guys wrote an article on it after that game. I really don’t think he’s going to attract $4-5 mil. in compensation, but for $2.5 mil. It makes sense. Beane has made good decisions with Bass and Bojo. By mid season Bass was making kicks beyond the 50, and Bojo was punting 50.8 yards, 1st in the NFL in 2020.

ProcessTruster Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 what a stupid post. the guy is a boomer, by the stats, probably the best punter talent in the league. sure let him walk. yikes the offseason is slow.

CSBill Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 He has improved because his consistency has improved. The Bills have now invested 3 seasons in him and he has moved to the top quadrant of NFL punters. They have been patient with him, so time to reap the ROI. Sign him to 3-4 year deal.

colin Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 i was really down on him, but he proved me wrong. like our kicker, and hopefully knowx, ford, edmunds, etc, he has athletic traits that he honed over time into solid performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I think he finally found his groove....keeping him is a no brainer. I bet a longer term deal gets done at less than the minimum RFA tag number(2m) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Bills have a good kicking game all round. Don’t mess with whats not broken. Already enuf holes to fill.

MrEpsYtown Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) This is an original round tender situation. That second round tender would make this guy the 3rd highest paid punter in the league, right above Tress Way. That doesn’t work. Having the right of first refusal is smart, because I don’t think other teams are going to be smashing down the door for any punter. I’ve been a Bojo hater, obviously I’ve been wrong and he has developed nicely, but he should’t be paid elite punter money. Maybe this year we draft Micheal Turk late, he’s already a legend here.

Doc Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 At the least you RFA tag him for ROFR ($2.133M). That would put him 14th among punters as of right now. See how he does this year and then go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Bojo really figured it out this season. We saw coffin corner kicks for the first time. We saw his net increase along with his 50 yard average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he deserves to be the third highest punter in the league, the problem is that we don't use him enough. Still though, it's really not breaking the bank either way, and last thing this team needs to scramble to find a punter. We have a good thing going, not to mention as a place holder, he's done a great job for Bass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I hope we can keep him, but $ is getting thin. Spotrac projects we need $6 mil. for this years draft, plus usually teams like $5 mil. For the insurance fund. Another $2 mil. for Bojo is coming from another player. I value Bojo., just not sure where Beane would find the $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I'm not dissatisfied with the Bills move signing Haack as our punter. Careerwise, he's got an average that's 0.3 yds/punt less than Bojo. He's been more consistent year to year. He also pins the other team inside the 20 more often vs. punting touchbacks. I still see Bojo as a "statistically, the other team's starting position is bad" kind of guy who booms them but also squibs them - inconsistent. Then there's the "flake factor" - "Laces Out, Bojo!" and the fake punt that wasn't, or whatever that was. But, it is surprising to me that Bojorquez is still unsigned as a FA. He did lead the league in yds/punt this past year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only have the Bills let him go, but no other teams appear to be knocking down the doors after him. Sounded a little bit like the Bills wanted him to sign a longer term contract, but maybe he only wanted one year in hopes of cashing in big next year when cap goes up? Do wonder if part of the reason the Bills weren't completely sold on him was the issues with holding and how many times laces were in wrong direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Rian Lindell saying this about kickers and the same holds true about punters. There are only 32 spots in the league. So most guys aren’t rolling the dice and bouncing from team to team if they don’t have to. There’s a lot more risk in testing the market, and Bojo is probably finding this out the hard way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
