Solid move. He'll be an upgrade and I like going to proven route over taking a chance on a college punter.

There will be a UDFA college punter too or some dude from Australia

And I’m certain Tomlin will keep the best option as he always does

That’s how the Steelers free agent…a punter signing!!! Woo Hoo

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

He looks like Bill Burr.

They signed him for 3 years and 9 million dollars. There will be no competition. The job is his.

Holy cap mismanagement!!!
That's the big FA splash then.

Or we just plan on punting a whole lot, also likely.

His leg will get worn out punting 6 times per game.

We are going from one of the worst punters in the league to a top 10 guy. I’m ok with it. Our punting has been a nightmare and really has helped contribute to us losing games. Johnston should turn that around.

 

[TimesHaveChanged]

Totally agree having a competent punter changes the game. KC and Baltimore were booming punts in the AFCCG

we only had one of the worst punters cuz Shades blinked and kept the wrong guy
Punters are a dime a dozen
Unless you live in your fears and then they are 3 million a year cuz previous player evals blew chunks

Not arguing he isn't good
Just that it's a dumb way to blow cap space

Burr on podcast said oh yeah he definitely looks like me. Wish he was a quarterback
