Storm Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 So, we saved money by cutting Weatherford, but actually traded a pick for a fucking punter? Cmon, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 There were going to be 32 punters out there after final cuts! Most teams have a kicking competition going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedinBlue Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I'm having a little trouble absorbing this trade. I like Weatherford a lot. And I hate giving up draft picks. I hope this kid is really special and can nail the coffin corner. I wish Weatherford all the best luck in the world. His attitude and spirit was a boost to the team. Still scratching my head.

Lughead Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I'm patriotically obliged to be stoked about this (he's an Aussie). Kid had a big rep coming out of LSU. Art Stapleton @art_stapleton 20m20 minutes ago Brad Wing is due to make $510K this season. Steve Weatherford was due to make $3.075M, including $1.75M in dead money. Art Stapleton @art_stapleton 13m13 minutes ago Brad Wing is exclusive rights FA in 2016. Under #NYG control this year + next at far lower price tag than Weatherford. It's a business.

And like Tree, this kid sounds like a troublemaker...... http://www.jsonline.com/sports/nfl-ponders-punters-future-rt9i5hp-204603711.html ...."He's a problem child," one special-teams coach said. "I interviewed him at the combine. I think it was all con. I don't think this guy is remorseful for any of it. "If it was me, only way I would take him is if we didn't have anything invested in him. First time he (expletive) up he'd be out the door. There's too many red flags on this guy.".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Don't get too wrapped up with loss of a draft pick. Not many of those late round picks by Reese actually stay on the roster, or start for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeks of desperation. A few kicks not well placed and a stalwart punter gets the boot.

Treehugger Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 His performance 4 years ago doesn't justify an extra 2.5 million per year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 His performance 4 years ago doesn't justify an extra 2.5 million per year now. Weatherford didn't give himself an extension or franchise tag himself. I'd argue that his performance during those years are exactly what got him 2.5 million more than what we're giving the new punter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
