Punter Likely Inbound

[Garthshort]

And not for nothing, but the kicking game is very important. As a long time Cards' fan, I remember how one season went down the drain when we had to use Jackie Smith as our punter. Saw signs in the stands asking Santa to send a punter for Christmas.

Wiles cut after the Lee signing.

Great news for Cards!!!! This was a major weak spot for years!!!

Mark Dalton‏@CardsMarkD
Cards sign veteran punter Andy Lee to 2-yr deal. A 3-time Pro Bowl selection; also named 1st team all-pro 3 times. Will wear jersey #2.

We should still have 1 add to the 53 and 2 adds to PS I believe.

I am still hoping we replace AE with Langford or J. Williams.

Good roster move!

Great to hear this. Special teams so important. See last season.

This should help with field position.

A 2 year deal to pair him with his buddy Phil Dawson for this year and next. Good going, Steve Keim.

Harry, thanks for the heads up.

Continuing dissatisfaction with on roster punters appears to have led the Cards to trade for Andy Lee. I'm hearing the only debate is about the highest round of conditional pick!

Well, Nostradamus was Hairy....

Yes. Wile punted very well against the Cardinals and with Drew Butler struggling, to add Wile at that point in the season was good. Too bad the coaches felt that had to cut Marqui Christian to keep Butler as a holder. Christian made the Rams' roster again this year.

Agree, Wile was much better than Butler. Not sure why he did so poorly during the preseason. Really like the move of signing Lee.

That was a huge mistake by the FO.

'Huge' ?

He's a spare part whether with the RAMS or here.

Harry, thanks for the heads up.

I'm going to be curious to see if the NFL takes a look at this signing. The teams couldn't agree on a conditional pick. The Cards wanted him badly and had tons of picks. Still they were confident all along of signing him gambling he'd be released and even though they couldn't talk contract until he was released. It seemed odd enough to get attention. Plus I kept hearing not to worry he was a lock.

Who said that punter is "all" that anyone is worried about? This thread is specifically about the punter position. Cmon man!

It's just getting another punter is getting a lot of talk, that's all. There are always holes to fill.

Makes a lot of fans sleep better at night.

Is TJ designated for return or is he lost for the season? I'm not sure of the IR rules at this point.
