With the “frugality” thus far, $18.2M if cap room left and the assumption that the draft picks will be $6M-$7M total, my guess is that a big resigning is coming. Possibly for Scherff or Preston Smith. Just a guess, but they’ve done this before.

Maybe.  We can also roll the savings to next year too.  So we don't have to spend it all.

I would prefer Scherff over Smith. There is also hope that we up our offer to Hankins...

With how his market has shown, a 1 yr deal looks like it’s in the cards for Big Hank. Doubt he signs long term this far into FA, for a player of his ilk and age.

I don't really think anyone can complain about this deal...

 

I WILL COMPLAIN!

(no I won't)

It's a buy low deal, with maybe a chance at reclamation project for compensatory picks next year (trusting McPhee long term is probably too much to ask for).

Not sure how this would go over, but the Raiders just cut Marquette King, who is a pretty outstanding punter.

They brought in someone to compete with Tress Way, so I guess they aren’t totally satisfied with where we’ve been in the punting game — maybe they’d consider burning a little of that cap space for a top shelf guy? I like Tress, but Marquette King is a weapon with his ability to flip the field with monster punts at times. 

I don’t even know if I would want them to do it. Just a thought.

Was just coming in to say this.

I like Tress Way.

I immediately burn the cap space for a Marquette King.

First off is an article from Purple PTSD (a Vikings site) where they rank punters based on:

Quote

Short field punts (from your own 40 and closer) are measured as a percentage of the field they cover. So a punt from the 50 that’s fielded at the 10 is an 80% punt, as it covered 80% of the available field. Long field punts (everything behind your own 40) are simply measured as average distance, since those are the times you’re trying to boot it as far as possible. Touchbacks are a -20 yard penalty for obvious reasons, and blocked punts are removed.

Taking their data, I ranked the 33 punters by both short and long distance independently and then put in a weighted average of (60% for long distance, 40% for short) and sorted them.

There is also PFF

Ignore the overall score because that's some weird PFF crap. Instead look at the "Max HT" (hang time). Gaining 0.3s of hang time would be oh so nice.

 

Seriously, if you can upgrade a position, then upgrade the position.
