"In 2022, the Ravens signed Tucker to a four-year, $24 million contract extension (with $17.5 million guaranteed)." 2 years down the line from that deal, I'll bet we're looking at a $28MM / $20MM guaranteed across 4 years for Butker. - SB winning/tying kicks - SB record setting kick - AFCCG winning/tying kicks - Multiple clutch regular season kicks I think he's probably on track to be a HOF kicker, and I think we hang on to him at least through this next contract window. |

I mean, I could legitimately see the team take a pick as early as the 4th if the value was right. But I'm just assuming two of the punters on the board are super good. |

There is not such an appreciable difference between NFL-caliber punters that it affects games in some meaningful way. The ability to pin a team inside the 20 4 more times a season than any other average guy doesn't mean much. The ability to average 1 more yard per punt doesn't move the needle. It's a fallacy. When I'm home, I'll see if I can find the data on it. |

I think, if you're going to have an elite defense, which the Chiefs may still have even after losing Sneed, having a really good punter enhances them. |
