Come on, they are looking to get the best Punter available for the right price. And certainly someone that can punt for more than 10 yards this guy didn't quit high school to be brought in.

We have to be smart about how much is spent on our Punter as important (unfortunately) as that part of the game is. We have other needs (OT, DE, LB) that need to be addressed, that far out way the current Punter situation.

We now have competition, let the best Punter win the job.

He can't cuz he's not in the competition ( I miss Hunter already )

I'm not sure about this move. His punting average last year (41.8) was a whole tenth of a yard better than Plackemeier (41.7).

Is this somehow and upgrade? In his 7 year career he's only averaged over 42yds/punt twice.
