The guy was a big legged kicker who also had pretty darn good accuracy. It’s a tough call, but I think that the remedy for the Bills is to get a good veteran in there to do the job at both punting and holding and ringing a higher degree of “maturity”.

Not because of the Carolina connection, but because the team tried to sign him 2 years ago. They keep announcing this on the Charlotte radio during the news shorts. Saying that he’s already worked out for the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HankBulloughMellencamp Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 given where we will most often punt from (~midfield)...

Wayne Arnold Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 55 minutes ago, zow2 said: Where’s the announcement about signing Kern? it should have been 10 minutes ago. His strength is directional punting and pinning teams inside the 10. That’s what the Bills need. Let’s face it, in Orchard Park there’s usually wind from Southwest to Northeast. Every NFL punter can boom it far with the wind and struggles against the wind. We really need a professional who can place the ball where the special teams needs it to be placed. Which Kern can do. Announce it Beane. If we're close enough to be able to pin a team inside the 10 with a directional punt, we should be going for it on 4th down - not punting. Therefore, there's no point in having a punter like that unless McDermott wants to get conservative this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I mean the punter market basically just boomed with Kern and also Sam Martin getting released. There’s plenty of great options and buffalo is more than likely upgrading over the previous punters we had rostered 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Araiza's contract wasn't guaranteed either It was not, and as it's an after-June 1 cut the Bills have moved part of his modest signing bonus to next year's cap. We are carrying $52k dead money for Araiza. Since Kern has been cut, we do not have to pick up his previous salary. Spotrac shows the Bills currently with $10.7M top-51 cap, -$6.96M overall cap. Since "overall cap" is what matters when the "top 51" rule expires, it's a little hard to guess, but if I take my shot at the 53 man roster then add a reasonable guess for practice squad, I come up wiith $4-4.6M cap space.
