Yep. I'm fine with it. Happy trails, Tommy. Veach will send you your ring via UPS.

I wonder what's changed so much. I don't think it can be just raw strength. There must be some technique change that's producing more yards.
Could it be related to an increase in the long range field goal percentage success so that around halfway teams are now more likely to trust their kicker than turn to the punter meaning less shorter range punts requiring precision to try and in in the 5 and more of the punts just being rip the leg through and hammer it.

Has that miserable **** Chad Forbes cried about this yet like he cried about us signing Omenihu?

God I hope so.

Few things are as gratifying as pissy Chad Forbes.

What an absolute ****.

100%. You don't bring Matt Araiza in unless you're planning on starting him next season. However misguided and wrong the PR hit will be, it's inevitable that there will be some. See Tyreek Hill.

Maybe Townsend partied too hard for Butker's liking.

We've lucked out on punters with the last two. Colquitt will be in the Chiefs ROH and Townsend was pretty good as well.

Let's hope there won't be much punting though next season.

I'm probably asking a dumb question, but, if the Bills released him before the 2022 season, is the lawsuit the reason no one picked him up? Did the lawsuit just recently go away?

Sorry, my statement may have been unclear because i formatted it dumb. I meant to convey his innocence

Townsend partied too much with Drew Rosenhaus.

And Rosenhaus is the right guy for that.

I don't love seeing him representing any of our key guys, but he's a pro. He knows how to get things done. He knows how far he can push things. He knows when it's time to pull the chute and get the best possible deal for his client instead of ride the train into a mountain.

If there's a good deal for Tommy out there, Rosenhaus will get it for him.

If I were a Free Agent or even someone entering my FA year, he'd probably be the guy I hired. He might be a douche and embody everything we hate about 'sleazy agents', but he's really damn good at his job.

Go get it, Tommy. I'm just happy it won't be with us.
He flew Tyreek right into a mountain of cash and WC playoff exits.

Which was exactly what his client asked him to do.

Rosenhaus did his job there as well as any agent ever has. That's all you can ask of him.

I mean have you even seen the list of free agents this team has this season and the next couple of seasons coming up? This is an A+ move just based on the ability to free up and few million bucks for the cap AND upgrade the position.
