His pay is not even in the Top 10 bumping him up $400K would make him top 5 surely the cap isn't that tight https://overthecap.com/position/punter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't affect higher paid guys, but how much does that playoff/SB bonus boost a punter's pay? I think the SB bonus is $171,000 but don't know if that for all four games or just the SB.

xen 1,010,219 Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Honestly I wouldn't pay a punter. This kid has an unreal leg. lol they call him Punt God for a reason. Beat out a vet in Bills camp before all that went down. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea unless Butker is just demanding Townsend stick around just cause he doesn’t wanna switch holders then yea you let Townsend walk as this guy is going to be cheap for a few years and has the better leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat out a vet in Bills camp before all that went down. Yeah, Townsend was hauling in over $2.6 million/year. Araiza would probably get rookie minimum. If he can boom some of those 60+ yarders like he did in college, he'd be worth a shot. Can he keep the laces out for Butker? 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Veach is a gd savage. He probably went to work the day after the SB at 6am. This will low key end up being a great signing. artsy and oldtimer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes4six! 968 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Great signing. This kid can flip the field for us no problem. I’m not sure how he is with dropping punts inside the 10 and also holding for butker but time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,219 Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 Uncle Dave will get him straightened out. People bitch about Dave Toub but he has consistently had great results in the kicking/punting department over his career and helped guys figure stuff out, like when butker got the yips. This would also be a return to a left footed punter ala Colquitt. He was also his teams placekicker so not sure if he has ever held for a kicker. oldtimer and West 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer 8,684 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Buffalo sure screwed the pooch on this. Should be a lesson to the overly PC crowd but it wont be. Kudos to Brett/Andy & Co to be on the ball. I have to wonder tho if this was not a planned move for some time and KC was just waiting. moons314 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really confusing. Araiza was charged but the charges were dropped and reportedly, he wasn't even at the alleged scene. He sued for defamation against his accuser and dropped that suit when she "uncharged" him probably because she had nothing to collect from. So if those facts are correct, why did the Bills not bring him back earlier? Why did they release him in the first place if we seriously believe in innocent until proven guilty? By those standards, the Chiefs would have released or suspended Hill several years ago when his then girlfriend made her wild charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West 6,713 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Townsend apparently signed with Drew Rosenhous last summer. (Tyreeks agent) and Veach has been planning since that day. TT is not going to take a discount. Veach is one smart and opportunistic GM w oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lot to it but the details didn't come out until recently and the civil case against him was only recently dropped after he sued her for defamation. The charges she made were bad initially. But then the tape of the prosecutors basically explaining it was a lot of bullshit and anyeay araiza wasn't at the party by that point got released. https://sports.yahoo.com/prosecutors-former-bills-punter-matt-araiza-wasnt-present-during-alleged-gang-rape-225211550.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West 6,713 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Kinda right Jet... Apparently, Punt God had consensual sex with the plaintiff before she entered the party. Punt God then left the scene and was not on video showing he ever entered the party with the alleged perps.....Plaintiff dropped her complaint when the video evidence supported Punt God.. Give it up for Veach.....he found a potential star on the bargain priced rack. artsy and oldtimer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
