He can just retire if he doesn't go back to TN. 1 hour ago, BarleyNY said: This. This would be his 15th season, he’s already made $28M and the Titans gave him a $550k signing bonus this off-season. He’s got plenty of money, and a life he enjoys. We’ve spent a lot of time in Nashville and it’s a nice place to be. Sometimes it really is NOT about the money, as shocking as that may sound. I wish him and his family well. We will find our punter (and holder ) and be just fine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Stonada Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 We don't know what's going on with his family. Maybe his wife and kids need him around, and he can't see being away from them for six months even if his bank would go from 30 million to 31 million.

My wife has told me multiple times that there is no way we will ever move back to Buffalo. I will get her to change her mind eventually. I would love to go back to Buffalo seasonally if at all possible. (as in leave in October or so, and return in April or so) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since his family is from Grand Island, they've probably been back there to visit the Grandparents at different seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I'd like to see Kern in a Bills uniform, but if the guy, at this stage of his life, doesn't want to uproot his family, who am I to judge? From what I have read, Kern has $28M in career earnings, is in the process of building his dream house in the Nashville area, and is an excellent golfer who likes to play year-round. Those are some solid reasons why he wouldn't want to relocate to Buffalo and/or live away from his family. I see no reason why the story told by his father would be untrue. As to the Titans, after more than a decade wtih the franchise, Kern likely has a lot of connections and friends in the organization. I don't think their message was "don't sign with any other teams, as the rookie might not pan out and we want you to wait on hold for us." I think the message was more like "listen, if you don't want to sign with someone else, and stay in town, there's an outside chance we might need you, so stay ready if that's something you'd be interested in." The Kern story might also simply be posturing to get the Bills (or another team) to offer him more money. So let's let Kern do his thing and see what Martin has to offer.

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The player would be a fool to turn down a contract from another team so that he could wait on a job that may not materialize. Punters are not in short supply but jobs are. I can't even imagine an agent letting this happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked him up on Spottrac, and he's made over $27 million in his career, and he's 36, soon to be 37 in a few months. If he wants to sit around, not get paid, and wait for the Titans to (maybe) call then it's his choice to make! Maybe he's just comfortable, has plenty of money, and doesn't want to start bouncing around the league every year or two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to hate on the guy for making a decision that is best for him and his family. Sure, I'd like to seem him in a Bills uniform, but I respect the decision he (appears to have) made. Let's hope the Bills can get a deal done with Martin so everyone can move on in this situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Technically, they could place him on their practice squad and he can say he’s practicing from home. This would at least get him a paycheck. Either way, this guy is 100% not the guy I would want on the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kern is likely is going to get a retirement ceremony at half of some game and some TV work or something with the organization if he wants. Not too many guys left in the NFL that have played 13 years in one spot. He was sort of one of the faces of the franchise and he was just a punter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 To twist the words of an old internet meme "Brett Kern just isn't that into Buffalo" So much for those who lobby to bring the local boy home.
