Pro Bowl Punter Fields (Miami) released

[ARZCardinals]

In a cap savings move Miami cut Brandon Fields - a pro bowl punter in 2013. He's been one of the top pin em inside the 20 kickers in the league. He has a good average and an amazing pin em ability.

I personally HATE Drew Butler's punting. He takes way too long to get the ball out and he kicks it too short and often shankes it all together and gets lucky on a 10 yard roll.

PLEASE let me hear later today. "The Cardinals are bringing in Fields for a look."

Your thoughts?

What is his salary? What's the likelihood he clears waivers?

That is the big question, will he make that far down the waiver wire list?

Sounds like he took a pay cut, but is still not cheap in the grand scheme of punters:

Pay the man, we are clearly trying to win now. We can't afford punts under 30 yds like last season

 

[Chainthroer]

I bet the Cards are looking at tape to see how he's done this pre-season.

 

[jbeecham]

He averaged 46.3 yards last season, but his net average of 38.6 ranked only 25th in the league.

Almost anyone would be better than Butler.

We won't be bringing him in. For better or worse BA loves Butler.

Butler and Robert Hughes are two players that I just don't understand BA's love affair with.

Who knows, BA actually cut Lorenzo Alexander. So we'll and Butler remain as players that get a pass because of the coach.

What do you have against Robert Hughes ?

The guy does his job, and performs his role as well as one can ask ?

Agreed. He was an oversized slow rb at ND so instead of being out of the nfl BA turns him into a short yardage quick hitter n a pretty good fb who contributes on special teams

in all seriousness....BA is a very competent coach. Given that, what does he like about drew butler. Has he ever said what he LIKES about this raging bum? Im dead serious, does anyone know what it is? All i ever see is SUCK out of him. Plus his dad is a huge cream puff.

What does his father have to do with anything?

 

[Snakester]
