BillsCuse Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Well we know the Bills have seen him punt about a million or so times the last few years, so he must be good! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I didn't realize Haack was also a left-footer https://www.radio.com/wgr550/sports/bills/bills-sign-punter-matt-haack?utm_campaign=sharebutton&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_term=WGRAM Quote The signing of Haack may mean the Bills are prepared to move on from Corey Bojorquez, who is a Restricted Free Agent. To retain Bojorquez's rights, the Bills would have to give him a minimum qualifying offer of $2.13 million, which would make him one of the top-10 paid punters in the NFL by cash, and in the top half of the league in terms of salary cap hits in 2021.

Dmefoc Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Coming over from the Dolphins forum, going to sign up shortly. Matt is my cousin, I figured Buffalo would be the last place he would end up with Bojo doing so well last year (of the places possible) but I can tell you as someone who lost interest in the NFL for awhile, then started watching again when he was signed by Miami, I for one am so damn happy he’s going to a good team. Miami’s draft is set up to be a dumpster fire (they have lots of picks, but they’re targeting a cancerous culture). anyway, sorry for those of you not excited, but we are pumped! also, he holds the Dolphins record for most punts inside the 20 in a single game, which he did twice. 307 total punts for an anemic offense, 114 inside the 20. 2nd in Dolphins history (ahead of Roby) in net yards (career).

Numark3 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 It’s easy to rack up a high punt average like Bojo when you are unable to not pin a team inside the 20 and can just boom the ball. bojo had a good year, but he is a very average punter.

Virgil Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 1 hour ago, Ed_Formerly_of_Roch said: Shouldn't it be the other way "If he signs for over $2 mil you don't get it"?? The Bills could have had him for $2 mil tender. But if he signs with another team for $1.5 mil, could just as easily mean the Bills were only will to pay $1.25 mil or something?? Since no team has announced they've come to terms, could easily be camp punter and he still signs with Buffalo If he takes less than the Bills should have paid him, that’s what I don’t get. I’m assuming they would have given him at least that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And likely are assuming no other team is willing to pay that much either, so maybe they will still sign him. Ashamed tender offer salaries for RFA aren't tied to positions the way franchise tag salaries are. Hard to believe that RFA QB is worth the same as a punter!

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I dislike Bojo more than the next guy (I made a thread in 2018 saying we should cut him), but I can't say I'm thrilled with this move. Bojo was pretty good last year. Why suffer through 2 years of bad/inconsistent punter play only to not re-sign the guy after he had a great 3rd season?

Bojo had a good yr, but that was just 1 during his time with us. Granted he improved greatly this yr, but the inconsistency could have still been a concern and field position. Bojo rarely pinned punts, it was a coin flip if he'd kick a touchback or a fair catch at the 15. With the offense that we now have, a specialist pinning the ball deep is much more valuable than a guy who kicks a 60-yr boom every 10th kick. Bojo bigger leg, Haack will prove much more valuable when those frustrating drives fizzle at midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
