Didn’t qb’s used to hold for field goals?

Yes, but they often need to get work with the offense so they can’t devote a lot of time to working with the kicker and long snapper. Using the punter was a natural progression because the three (kicker, punter and long snapper) are always together in practice.

of the guys out there, I'd go for Jordan Berry. He punted in inclement weather in reports say that he probably 'won' the punting competition for the Vikings, but not by enough to keep him over the rookie they drafted. He would be an upgrade over Haack.

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. 

He is how old,35,36?

His game salary for home games is not taxed in Tennessee, it would be in NY. I'm sure his agent will be mentioning that.

If he gets cut by Tennessee. It’s not going to be an option to keep getting paid by the NFL team in that state. 
 

Also, game check state tax payments determined by where the games are played.  So it’s not all or nothing NYS tax compared to state tax wherever else he might sign.

Whoever it is, their nickname needs to be something like "Punt Angel" or "Punt Boy Scout".

Yes, and forward passes used to be against the rules. Things change.

I saw a few titans fans on Reddit suggesting we are trading for Brett kern…he isn’t playing in their preseason finale despite being in a punting battle with their rookie punter and a starter not being named yet.  


From what I’ve heard it’s pretty much a given that Kern will be cut. I’d be surprised if we trade for him though.

Why trade for him if he's gonna be a cut casualty? He's able to sign with any team he wants

I think you answered your own question. 

 

If they want him and are worried he'll sign somewhere else once he's a FA, then it would make sense to acquire him for a late round pick.

If a big leg is what we were looking for for flipping the field, I'm all for Marquette King

 

 

This is whats disappointing about Araiza.

 

I feel like with how aggressive we'll be between the 40s that punting inside the 10 is really useless for me.  

 

I want the punter that will flip the field if we go 3 and out inside our own 30.  

 

That's what you want from your punter in 2022.

The only issue I have in a trade is that the Bills inherit the salary of $2,750,000 which is a net cap hit of $2,000,000 on our cap which is currently at $10,082,000

Hasn’t punted in the NFL since 2016.

 

If we’re signing guys just because they’re from Buffalo, I’d like to suggest Chad Michael Murray.

Be more entertaining than the suggestions we’ve seen.

 

Or maybe just live your life? It’s a punter. The least important position on the team.

 

punters.

Marquette King

 

Saw that he made himself very vocally available to the Bills on Twitter and didn't even realize he was out of the league for so long. What was his deal exactly? He was a top punter in the league and then he was a bit of a distraction and was gone? I can't find anything about an injury or drop in performance. Honestly sounds like he was so annoying that it pushed him out of the league.

Hence the keyword: tryout.

 

Also have you seen the dudes Twitter?

 

The man is absolutely jacked.

  It could also be a courtesy to a vet they know will have a good opportunity to get the Bills job. Bills maybe even asked his agent to request that courtesy.
