$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.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

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.
