So, we ended up giving up a 4th rounder plus paying the big money we didn't want to pay for Nortman?

Nortman sucked, but I don't see the point.  Redfern looked pretty good in my estimation...  good enough that we didn't need to give up a draft pick to bring someone else in, imo.  this was horribly managed.

Yeah giving up a 4th is ridiculous especially when you know there are other good punters out there that are going to be cut.

From PFT: 

"Lee, who was acquired by the Browns in a trade with the 49ers prior to the 2015 season, figures to be the final answer in an ongoing punter competition the Panthers have been holding since the spring. He’s been punting in the NFL since 2004 and set Browns franchise records last season with his 46.7-yard gross average and 40.1-yard net average."

Redfern totally out kicked his coverage in the game against the Pats and setup a big return, it was a 61 yard punt but he booted it right down the middle of the field which you can't do with the ability of returners in the NFL.

Really? Name all those good punters that are sure to be cut.

Biggest name that is in danger to be cut is colquitt... similar to scifres in production but is a much younger punter than scfries.. My hope was if/when scifres was cut that colquitt would be picked up.

Yep I'd rather we have waited for the cuts.. players like colquitt and such could have been signed here..

Agreed.  My initial thought upon seeing this was, "why not wait for cuts and see if Colquitt is released?"  I'd imagine Colquitt's value has diminished now that it's public knowledge he's being shopped, so I can't see him commanding more than a 5th...  or him just being outright released, which i think is becoming more likely.

I thought Redfern looked good enough to at least play wait and see.  And if we were absolutely set on blowing a draft pick on a punter, why not draft one ourselves if the need was that urgent?

Oh well...  i know Lee is good, but he isn't worth a 4th rounder.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
