I like Palardy and I hope he can get on somewhere else but Lee is great. Unfortunate injury last year but when you have a guy who can pin the opponent inside the 20 or inside the 10 yard line consistently can't be overstated. Field position is huge and Lee wins that battle over the other teams punter 9 times out of 10.

You aren't saving any money at all by cutting Lee. Lots of dead cap.

Punters can go on well into their 40s. Lee is good. Keep him.

That is the problem with many posters who just throw stuff out there. They don't do their homework to decide whether to advocate keeping or cutting a player. As you noted, it is about salary cap and dead cap implications. For example cutting Lee and signing Palardy has to include both Palardy's salary and any dead cap cutting Lee. In this case the dead cap space for cutting Lee is the same 2.6 million as his cap hit for keeping him. So cutting Lee and paying Palardy vet minimum will cost more than keeping Lee and putting Palardy on the practice squad if he clears waivers.

coach not going to go with a rookie kicker

if we cut gano, he will have a tampa uniform that day

lee is a keeper as well...as long as injury is healed

Let Gano go play for Tampa. At least then we know if the game comes down to a 45+ yard kick for them to win, that he will shank the living hell out of it as usual.

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
