Yeah, tough first week for him. Having an incompetent coaching staff forced on you for at least a year and then losing one of the hand full of players on the team that's actually really good.

I'm sure the college ranks are filled with many capable punters, so that part can be replaced w/o even using a draft pick. What made him so special was his dual role of punter and kick off specialist. I think that made Vinitari more accurate. Also he was a whacky guy and that was made him one of my favorites.

The best punter in the NFL quits the team so he can go to New England and join Bartool Sports. In the words of Jim Cornette, "Thank you, fuck you, bye".

I expected a hearty "Fuck that guy!" out of you.
I am disappointed.

Finding a replacement for him is not as easy as it might sound. There are currently only 3 punters who are listed as unrestricted free agents:

40 year old Shane Lechler, HOU
31 year old Britton Colquitt, CLE
27 year old Jeff Locke, MIN

and one guy who is a RFA:

26 year old Colton Schmidt, BUF

There will be some movement of Punters during the off-season and a few will probably be released after the draft and such but there is not much to pick from in free agency.

There are only 2 guys that Walter Football thinks could/should be drafted at the Punter position:

JK Scott, Alabama
Austin Rehkow, Idaho

I like Rehkow because he also kicked FGs for them and was 26 of 29 during his senior year. Flexibility is great! It probably also indicates that he did kickoff duties for them as well so there is that.

My guess is that the Colts would have to use a 6th round draft pick in order to secure one of those guys. That is fine with me since our low round picks rarely seem to contribute much (Good is the only 6th or 7th round pick to really contribute since the 2010 7th round pick of Kavell Conner).

Sadly, neither Scott nor Rehkow are black so Omaha will not be happy.

This sucks. Godspeed, Patty Mac.

Cheers,

Then, maybe Irsay and/or Ballard can coax him back for one more year.

Those Patriots fan douchebags are national now? I'm glad I don't pay attention to any of that crap.
