He has been an elite punter for his entire career. I would focus on trimming money being spent where we aren't getting the appropriate production in return.


he's been very average more years than not. difference between a top 4-6 punter and a punter top 5-10ish is not worth that cap space. its pissing money away. we hard balled drew fricking brees over his market value 10x's more than the money they through out the window to thomas morestead.

You may have an opinion on whether he gets paid too much or not. But the above statement is simply ridiculous.

Drew's % of the team's salary cap was off the freaking NFL bell curve (29% versus 24% for the 2nd highest in the NFL - this is roughly from memory). This was the case for 2 years and we couldn't build a team around him because of it, among other reasons. So this isn't really a fair comparison imo.
