Sarge4Tide Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Worth a shot. If he can just be an average NFL kick returner in 2016, he'd be a nice addition to the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxgreen Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Can we just draft a punter while we're at it? I hope Ryan Quigley goes into the Witness Protection Program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Mick Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Not a major pick up but it definitely fils a need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UDFA pile should yield a punter significantly better than Quigley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoTownsell1 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 For the first time in a while this team is finally addressing the return game. If we can land a punter I'd be thrilled. Special teams is often more important than the difference between Bruce Carter and an above average MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 We picked up Archer during the off season, he never really worked out in Pitt, but I think he could also complete for the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Too bad the kick return is a thing of the past most of the time worth a shot on punts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCEastFan Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 One of the more difficult challenges in the popular "law firm associate or NFL wide receiver" game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He burned a roster spot on Josh Cribbs and burned a 4th round pick on a 143 lb WR/RB. He just sucked at talent evaluation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
