You can’t go into the draft with with nobody on the roster and people knowing you need a guy, so keeping Haack on the roster feels like a safety net and a bit of a smokescreen. Its a pay cut, essentially. Plus, injuries do happen in camp or the regular season. He might not be a bad add midseason…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 1 hour ago, IronMaidenBills said: People on here tell me we have a top 5 NFL roster, how can that be true if we have a punter that’s ranking last in some punting metrics? It’s true. A bad punter who can be replaced ruins the whole roster, and makes Josh Allen and diggs useless. It is actually grounds for firing McDermott, Beane, Frazier, and the Pegulas should sell the team because of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 1 hour ago, Big Turk said: Typically with other players when they did this last year they also guaranteed the contract in exchange for him accepting less money. If this is the case, there is no way he is getting cut. I don't think this is relevant. It is such a small guarantee, they will cut him eventually imo. He is the fall back plan in case they can't get their guy imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also $1 million when the team is currently over the cap and need every dollar they can save is NOT a small guarantee.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 A fifth or 6th round pick would cost about $600K so the savings is not that much. I would have cut him and just drafted a punter. If the salary is not guaranteed then I’m ok with keeping him on the roster for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Haack shouldn't even be given an option to compete. He's the worst punter in the NFL. Why are you even opening yourself up to the possibility of keeping him? Beane and McDermott have a loyalty problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much when it's consistency in not getting it. What happened here is that we renegotiated his deal so that he has nothing guaranteed, actually $75K. He's essentially a camp body. He actually saved a bit of money this year on the cap by re-signing as they also put a void year on the end and moved $350K to that void year, according to overthecap. And you use that to figure that now you know why we don't win Lombardis!! How old are you? Seriously. Are you 12 or below? If you are, I'll definitely treat your brilliant conclusions with much less disdain. Edited March 12, 2022 by Thurman#1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they save $350K this year on the cap, getting him to sign this and adding a void year? Because he's not the worst punter around, he was just - by that particular measure - the worst starter, and bringing in a guy who couldn't even start would be even worse? Because bringing in someone better would likely mean giving some guaranteed money for a team that may well draft a guy and get someone cheap in that way, requiring paying a guarantee to a guy you think you'll probably cut in camp? Nah, couldn't be any of those. Because ... stuff This is a remarkably tiny little issue. People getting upset about it says far more about them than it does about Beane.
