WFT Free Agency

He didn't get cut, he was an FA and signed elsewhere. The question is actually why not match/better the offer? They probably didn't see enough from him to warrant the extra cost compared to other talent on the roster/in their sights.

I don’t believe he left on his own accord. I thought He was cut due to health concerns from his tricep tendon injury. Don’t believe there was an offer at all?

Jackson owns a little hog. Perfect signing lol.

Then why cut Sundberg? I didn't remember him having a bad season last year.

Elbow surgery. Still recovering. He snapped with partially torn ligaments this year. The ball was tailing on him a little. I think there’s at least a little concern on Ron’s part that he won’t come back the same, or at least enough concern to say I can just find a different snapper at the same price (minimum) who will perform the same, and I won’t have to think about elbow recovery.

Probably thinking of it as find his replacement now as opposed to finding out in August he can’t snap at all and scrambling to find one. Harsh but prudent.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that the new snapper will be at a lower price. Due to his years of service, the minimum for Sundberg is almost double what it would be for a new guy, as I understand it.

Yup. Will our FA signings, Scherff, Allen 5th year, etc., we'll need to squeeze out all the cap space we can. Competent long snappers on cheap UDFA deals or something similar should be feasible.

are we really worried about who the long snapper is? lol. sunberg had a nice run here but at the end of the day, no one gives a damn who snaps on punts and field goals.

I think that ol-Fitzt magic will win us some games next season, we'll be good enough to win the East and lose to the Bucs again in the first round!!

It’s actually not true. There’s a rule that says if you’re making the vet minimum, you count the same against the cap as the rookie minimum. They do it for this exact reason, so vets don’t get cast aside just because a rookie saves $200K in cap space.

I don’t think cost goes into the Sundberg decision significantly at all. It’s just about finding a guy with fewer injury questions.
