$5.465 million with $1.2 million guaranteed. Masthay will make $540,000 this season so he stands to make just over $6 million in the next five years.

This is nice. Last time we had a decent punter we inexplicably cut him, it's good to know I don't have to worry about that for a while.

My man Donald Driver

Summarize ... the Packers wanted more consistency out of the Punter position and failed miserably by choosing Frost or whomever. Seahawks let Jon Ryan punt more his way, and the Packers kept trying to change him, thus he was not consistent. Better question is why not let the man punt his way if it works.

This guy is a huge asset for our team. Glad we locked him up.

Here's some quotes from a CBS story at the time:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/10962471

The switch to Frost comes with some risk.

Frost, 27, had a poor showing last season, prompting Washington to draft Georgia Tech punter Durant Brooks in the sixth round. The two punted about equally during the exhibition season, but Washington decided to go with the rookie and release Frost.

Last season, Frost started like gangbusters, averaging 45.9 yards per punt in the first three games, but his season gradually went south, starting with a poor performance against the Packers Oct. 14. He went from fourth in the league in gross average and seventh in net after three games to 28th and 16th after seven weeks.

His average suffered in part because of some bad-weather games, which doesn't bode well for performing at Lambeau Field. But he said he also gained some insight from his difficult season and thought he was better during this training camp.

I'm convinced the real reason we dropped Ryan and picked up Frost, even though Ryan was better statistically, is that Mike Stock had a hard-on for Frost:

When Stock was special teams coach in Washington, he tried to get Frost to sign as an undrafted rookie, but Frost wound up signing with Philadelphia. Later, Frost attended a tryout camp for NFL Europa where he worked with Stock.

"If it makes any sense, Mike Stock is the special teams coach I know the most and haven't played for," Frost said.

No question the special teams coach had a role in the switch, but I'm saying from my standpoint, I could see he was inconsistent and couldn't coffin corner kick worth a darn. Which was supposed to Frost's specialty. Jon Ryan would boot one 70 yards, then shank one 23 yards. I'd rather a guy who kicks 40-50 every time.

jdlax (2h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (6h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

Zero2Cool (12h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (12h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (12h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

wpr (21h) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
