Right?

And the guy's probably going to want $4-5 million to stay.

I've been saying we needed to let Townsend go for months. I have no interest in re-signing the guy. And this is a killer replacement who can probably be an upgrade with a little work with Toub. And he's going to be cheap for the foreseeable future.

His agent is looking for the best punter ever contract. They ain’t getting that here.

And even if Townsend was Ray Guy-good (which he is not)… no punter is worth that amount.

Shame to see Tommy go but if this guy can catch and hold for Butker (and I guess there's no absolute guarantee) then it's a no-brainer. Absolute howitzer for a leg.

Bills fans are pissed, so he must be good.

Yeah, the dumb ass will argue about pretty much anything and will never ever change his mind.

He's quite honestly the most frustrating poster to go back and forth with on CP.

This move may of just got us to re sign Jones!! 28 mil was last year but after this years performance his price has gone up. 32 mil seems reasonable for what Jones brings. What a move Veach!!

The two actual questions about him are his ability to hold on FGs because he was the punter and FG kicker at SDSU. I don't know if he has much experience holding. And does he end up taking kickoff duties from Butker? Worst case we have two guys with monster legs who can kickoff.

Townsend was bottom tier on percentage inside the 20 this year. Also only about league average in yards per punt.

They can do better.

Tommy’s agent is Tyreek’s agent. He’s moving to another team.

He was maaaaaybe a top 10 punter this year? I mean Cole has proven to be a set and forget badass - the only real consistent elite punter the league's had in a bit. Dickson as well. The rest are almost always up and down.

Y'all remember Jack Fox? We had him in several years back to compete with Colquitt (or maybe even Townsend). Fox has been better than Townsend the last couple years.

And frankly the difference between the 5th best punter and the 25th best punter means pretty much dick.

This just makes so much sense. Because in the end even if Araiza is screwed up by the year off, there's gonna be some other vet minimum schlub that can go out there and be near enough to average to not make a difference.

And near enough to average was all Townsend was this year.

Let him go chase his record deal - I'm extremely happy it won't be here. That's essentially going to cover the cost of Tranquill returning and there's just nothing but good things to say about that.
