pwny Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 And the only other one who should get an extension is Chark. Not a great draft class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Good. He's no 3rd round pick caliber Punter, but he's been really solid. Always seems like basically just housekeeping, to keep a punter around...right up until the point you don't have a good punter, and that's annoying. So, nice to have that sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's hard to imagine it being any kind of crazy money, on a punter. If he's paid toward the higher end of punters that'd be fine still. Even top punter salaries aren't that high, and there isn't a huge spread between the high and low end of vet punter deals. We're probably talking about a million or million and a half difference at most. On a team that has oodles of cap space, and not a whole lot to use it on right now anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He belongs in that range, give or take. And with inflation, the value is around like 8th-ish. Which is certainly fair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's pretty much just right on that expected market value of "upper end of punter salaries". In the next couple years, he'll probably slide down the that 6-10 range as others sign their new deals, and so the wheel spins. Now we've got him locked in and that punter spot sorted for hopefully another 4 years where the deal is just going to continue to get better as new ones are signed around him. Really not worth getting back on the carousel and looking for a new punter who might not even be top half of the league, much less Top-5/10ish...over what? Maybe $500k that would put him barely in the Top-10 average salaries, without even factoring for inflation and contract growth over time? Nah. That's chump change. It'd be the epitome of "penny wise, pound foolish". Edited March 21, 2021 by Tugboat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's fa punter out there right now who could be had for the cheapest contract potentially and he's easily top 15 in the league Edited March 21, 2021 by LinderFournette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwny Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 The difference between 3M and the vet minimum over the next four seasons is going to be less than 1% of the entirety of the cap. I have no idea why anyone would concern themselves with worrying about that when locking up the most viable option at a position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
