Yea, this no bueno. Im guessing he’s getting some offers and so begins the highest bidder game. The free market is fully taking hold and Whitt was right–soon the top 25 teams will just reflect the top 25 spending NIL programs…
2023: 45.5 yards per punt (tied #21)
2024: 44.7 (tied #35)
of all the dark spots for the last 2 seasons, Bouwmeester wasn’t one of them. If the only acceptable punters are Ray Guy winners, be prepared for a lot of disappointment.
It’s not an either/or world any more. You’ve got to figure out a way to pay both and Whitt said during the season that he already had his spreadsheets and budgets set. Now we’ll see if Blechen / whitt are as good at Moneyball as Billy Bean was.
