There were proven kickers in free agency this year that the FO didn't want to commit the money and I don't see any Morten Andersen's among the college ranks at this time...

What I don't get is the salary commitment to a punter and not a placekicker...

Seems like a PK would be a little more important with the extra point being moved back and FG vs punt duty.

That's because we can't seem to figure out how to actually pick a really great PK.
