Panthers re-signed P Sam Martin to a two-year contract.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Martin’s deal is up to $5 million. Martin joined the Panthers last season on a one-year deal and wound up booting 56 punts for an average of 47.2 yards per punt. Martin is a 13-year vet of the league who has spent time with four different franchises. He landed a career-best 48.2 percent of his kicks inside his opponent’s 20-yard line last season.

its a 2 yr deal and I think its the going rate for bottom 1/3 of punter contracts.  My members is he did pretty good for inside 20 and overall better than the QB ram dude....

I was about to start looking at the rookie punters, no lie...

A couple punter signed new highest deal around 4 years 14 million this FA...

Same here. Guess Martin couldn't get more on the market. Thought for sure we'd go UDFA punter like we did with kicker last year
