    He's an upgrade over Butler imo.

    When I seen him as a cut...the idea popped into my head...as he's been a decent punter for them. They just went with a guy who was cheaper and just as good (if not a little better). While I have no issues with Butler...Mesko is an upgrade from him. Welcome aboard!

    Not saying Mesko isn't better than Butler, but I still question the move. He got cut by the Pats because he was going to be too expensive. What are we going to pay him?

    I was a big fan of Butler last year- at least for a while- but I support this move. Mesko is a grade A punter. I think we are going to need one this year, too.

    I like the move if he is that good.

    With this offensive line there will be a lot of punts.

    I think we all witnessed with dismay how important field position is last year. Granted, our turning the ball over eleventy billion times didn't help matters.

    But if we can cut down on the turnovers, having a punter of his ability is not an insignificant thing.

    (of course, our own D needs to start generating turnovers. But that's a different discussion)

    Given our Special Teams play in preseason, let's also hope the Zohan can punt quickly and is a right decent tackler. :thumbs_up:

    Since he cleared waivers the team didnt have to take over his 1.3m contract (last year of his rookie deal)...so my guess is probably the minimum based on his years on the league or maybe a little over that. Hopefully its a multi-year deal like Steelers Depot said it could be.

    Pats don't want to pay someone they hardly have to use. I for one am glad we picked him up, been a reliable punter and gives up less returns.

    That is more wrong than I care to elaborate upon. I will never forgive you. How much you wanna bet that Tom Brady took that picture??? :facepalm::facepalm:
