Looking at the free agent list there is also something called a Sterling Hofrichter available. And a Hunter Niswander.

 

Give me the WANDER

Hofrichter punted for Syracuse, half his games were in a dome, doubt the winds of November are his strong suit. considering 6 of our home games are from Halloween eve on...

I think that explains why the bills cut Haack even knowing of the allegations. Haack was never going to make this team. Anyone else is basically better. 
 

That game last season against the Jets at home sealed his fate with the Bills and the fans.  I lost trust in him and just glad we will see someone new this season.

When your defense has to defend 45 yards yes, it matters. Bojo was a good punter but a bad holder, that very much matters. 
 

It clearly is difficult to find a good punter when this team still hasn’t replaced Brian Moorman. 


So you think our offense is going to stall out inside our own 5 and force the defense  to defend short fields enough times for this to matter? Interesting take. 
 

I don’t really care about replacing Moorman because we’re still talking about a punter. This isn’t the drought years. 
 

People act like Araiza was one of the best punters in the league. He’s a guy with a strong leg and that’s it. He’s similar to Bojorquez and his ability to consistently hold well is still a question despite a handful of preseason snaps.

First, I believe that Azaria will be released, as early as today. I agree with that decision, and all that discussion is in his thread.

 

I predict that we will sign Brett Kern from Tennessee,  who is likely to be cut on Tuesday.  3 time PB, having a great camp and still has a lively leg. Averaging 49yds in camp. He's also a home boy, Grand Isle native. And the best part is he's a coffin corner, pin em deep punter. That's perfect for us, with our O its not too often we will be putting from deep in our territory.  Keep an eye out for this. 

 

Araiza will likely get released, but people aren't going to want to admit that considering all the hype that was heaped on him. 
 

Too bad the Ravens just signed Cameron Dicker... I wanted him, if only for that last name.

Yeah I don't think a reminder is needed. 

Yeah the guy who made that post is the Administrator of this board, has run it successfully for about 25 years, so he knows what's he's doing and a ton of people respect him.

Punters seem useless until they mess up.  It's a pretty important position especially in the playoffs.  You don't want Mahomes starting at the 50 in January when it should be the 25 or less.  They Drafted Araiza for a reason.  I do agree that they will sign someone who gets released in a few days.  Lots of good legs out there that are being pushed of rosters because younger guys are coming up.

Why do you think he will be cut if he is doing so well?  I assume they have a veteran they are happy with?

Barkley did pretty well, considering the situation. That being said, they probably want to find a legit one. For never having punted until yesterday, he did way better than others I've seen do emergency punts after someone was injured.

Must be a holding specialist or we won't be coming here

Keenum can hold just fine and is also a dual threat as a qb on a fake kick.

Well the argument for Araiza being  a perfect fit for us was that it's not too often we would have been punting from midfield because of how good our offense is. We would be going for it on 4th and manageable quite a bit. So the rare occasion we go three and out have to punt from inside our 35 would be perfect for Araiza's big leg.

Reviewed spotrac - Brett Kern has $2,750,000 salary, dead cap is $550,000, Titans are $6,640,000 under the cap, other punter has no dead cap and $708,000 salary.  Kern will be available in my opinion
