zow2 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) I thought the Bills not having a punter one week before the season opener was strange. But then i saw Jacksonville released both place kickers on their roster yesterday. They brought in a K today from the waiver wire. Having a solid kicker is more important than a punter.

Because the Bills might do that once all year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanSD Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Maybe this is just our way of credibly committing to four downs of offense every drive, every game, all season. I've always wondered what would happen if a team did that. It worked for the Rams that one game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news was the Bills reached out to him and he said he was "weighing all his options". Implication is Bills woulda brought him in if he wanted to come. Martin had not yet been cut at the time, so no preference between Kern/Martin can be inferred.

Albany,n.y. Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 If the Bills don't sign Martin there's still 3 spots open on the practice squad & for 3 weeks they can have a practice squad punter before they have to sign him to the 53 man roster. It's an option if they really don't like anyone. They could also keep switching out the practice squad punter every 3 weeks until they like someone. 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
