Doc Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 37 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: There are probably another 200-300 that you’d get to before considering Moorman. There are probably another 50-75 that you’d get to before Schum. Sign someone that is good at punting in 2022. They’ll kick the tires on all of these guys. Kern is certainly the favorite. He isn’t the long-term solution there but for a year or two he is still fine. Just need him until Araiza is cleared... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlgarsh Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Kern should be plan A. If not, then who? King? Moorman? Definitely not hoping for a Colton Schmidt or Bojo comeback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Also have to ask which of the punters can the Bills afford? 2.5mil for Kern may be too much. How about a woman punter. Would help reverse the PR damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usage will be minimal, you just got cut by a team that isn’t as good as the Bills, and then the super bowl favorite Bills come calling. Accept Vet minimum or we will move onto the next average punter and offer him the same.

Well I guess if a 3 time pro bowler (Kern) or a draftable punter (Stonehouse) is a loser or Huber (2 time pro bowler) or Chrisman who has been around with a big leg are losers than idk what to tell you. If these guys are losers than Jake Schum is a huge loser, Marquette King is the worst, and every FA punter we bring in couldn’t Haack it(pun intended).

Kern or Huber seem very likely. Stonehouse you might have to trade for since he is subject to waivers. Same as Crisman. Huber is the only lefty in the group. Palardy is the only lefty in the others group. How about Dicker? Or is it too soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 There are only 32 starting punters in the entire NFL. There have to be more than double that number that came out of college just a few months ago. I refuse to believe that there aren’t more than a few who could do an adequate job. The Bills are not going to be relying on their punter to get them to the super bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there will be several good candidates available who are right around the same ability. And that way you don't have to take on their contract or give away a draft pick. If you can't sell a FA punter on the team, then he's probably not the guy anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
