I assume Townsend wants a big contract. We don't really have excess money to spare on our punter. Something that looks really good is right there for us.
No bitterness toward Townsend. No hard feelings. I like the guy and I appreciate some of the things he's done for us like the great job on the hold in the Super Bowl for Butker's long FG. I hope he does well in his quest for a big contract, but we desperately need that money to extend other players that play a much more critical role. |

Veach literally stole Butker and now got this guy.
Wow. I can’t believe I just watched punter highlights. This is such a great move. |

Has anyone looked to see if there is a melt down about this on Two Bills Drive yet?

Shouldn't change what we pay Jones - offer him what you think he's worth. If he takes it, fantastic. If not, move along.
But it frees up enough space for the kind of moves that paid huge dividends on the fringes of the roster for us the last several seasons. Again, to my eyes its actually: Townsend or Araiza + Tranquill That's an easy choice. |

Honestly may have upgraded. Tommy was good but I never felt he did a great job of pinning guys. Araiza got the nickname punt god for a reason. Let's see what he's got.

Or for another example, might be the difference in brining back Donovan Smith this year. |

Thats the right move you make. Replace similar with younger and cheaper. Great move Bart.
And Zillas dumbass not liking the move makes it even better |

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. |
