well that means our kicker and punter are locked into the squad till 2020. If they keep playing like they are playing it will be a good thing.

Haven’t seen an in season extension since what 2011, 2012?

There's a Palardy in my palants, and you're all invited!

Good for him, read that story on him where even when he was teaching, he'd always go out and punt bombs at his school to keep ready just in case...and we came calling for him.

Plus thats a good way to intimidate the students.  The teacher could literally kick the $%^ out of them.

I think he was the top graded punter on PFF after week 3 which means he is at least very good if not great. I'm sure as hell not going to go watch every punt from every team to properly rank him so I'll take what they've got as good enough.

No brainer for one of the top punters in the NFL. I generally trust PFF's punting metrics since it's a different set of metrics compared to trying to grade football players, so this is high praise.

3 years, $7.52M for anyone wanting to know the numbers on it. That makes him the 10th highest paid punter in the NFL which isn't too bad.

This place was a $#*! show after Palardy was chosen over Lee.

Looks like head ball coach Ron Rivera knew what he was talking about.

[The Lobo]

This is going to sound dumb, but palardy is secretly one of our better players. Guy is a beast. 

[BrianS]

Good punter in his prime years at a reasonable price - good deal. 

[Mage]

Good.  Punting is something you don't realize is super valuable until you have a bad one (aka Brad Nortman).
