There's enough names that look serviceable until next year It's more about the jump up from Haack. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be the right scenario. Thankfully i think we may be perfect seeing as he is from Buffalo area and likely has family in area. And the fact that we are a superbowl contender. Punting for the Bills is semi-retirement 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Chrisman presents an interesting debate IMO. Kern is a safe, known commodity. He is also 36. He can be the short-term solution. Chrisman could be here for 15 years but may not be as good right now (he may be). Chrisman will likely come cheaper as well. I’m fine either way but it is interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also cheap and young. He will be someone’s punter this year IMO. Edited August 30, 2022 by Kirby Jackson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to make $2M-$4M a year in complete obscurity without anyone noticing for as long as possible and they never want to be the cause of a loss anyone cares about. They especially like indoor stadiums where they can rack up stats. Tucker hates his $5M from the Ravens crappy team on grass 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
