RedBeast Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Good move. One of the best punters in our history. Glad we locked him in long term! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Good move. Said a week or so back when the Raiders gave their punter a 5yr/16m contract that these guys do alright these days. Fair play to Tress, dare say he's earned a decent pay day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birdlives Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 This is the kind of free agency splash I like. Scot's doing a hell of a job. Cerrato would've had a giants like first few days, Allen and Shanny slightly less so. Scot resigns the freaking punter. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedlamVR Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 One thing that bothers me is this ..... what kind of a name is Tress? I know comming up with names is hard, it took us a while to name our first daughter and to this day she gets letters from the NHS as Miss Undecided May ..... but Tress ? Was he named after his mother who was a MissTress ? OR the first thing they saw Tres--tle tables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonez3 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I wish I could rehash my 'punter more important than kicker thread'. I've felt for years a punter is more important than a kicker in todays NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 “I am so thankful,” Way said, referring to the long-term contract extension. “I’m the kind of guy that if they are the first team to really give me a shot to play, then I want to play there my whole career.” Can't post the link but he's done we'll for himself. Reported on nfl.com it's a 4year 9.4mil extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reported on nfl.com it's a 4year 9.4mil extension. If those numbers are accurate, then he's gonna cost us WAY up more in 5 years... He'll only be 30, and will still have 8 or 9 years of playing in front of him. At this rate, he'll probably be the most expensive P in the whole NFL.
