2 year 2.3M contract, very little guaranteed.

 

year 1 900k

year 2 1.4M

prove it contract

 

either he becomes a huge asset on 4-phase ST and doesn't bring the game to a crashing halt in other phases or he's gone. low first year salary so there is no risk at all in carrying him through camp and preseason. if he earns next year's salary there will be no complaints about paying him.

 

remember at post-season presser both rivera and gettleman talked about possibility of full-time ST aces. here is a ST prospect with tools. there will be others, including some UDFA and guys who are brought in closer to camp. the best players will be rostered.

having a roided-out punter was a pretty nice luxury back then....hmmmmmmm

it also sucks having to have a specialized long snapper when every lifelong center long-snapped probably every year up til they made the league.

Every single team in the league has a specialized long snapper

Why? Serious question. It seems like such a bullshit position you could get someone else on the team to do and save a roster spot.

Practice reasons. Pulling a regular player away to long snap takes away from his game prep.

Injury reasons. Having a regular player do it means he can much more easily get injured doing other stuff and losing your long snapper means you are screwed.

Skill reasons. Apparently it's actually quite difficult to be really great that consistently at it so its specialized and requires constant practice.
