Look I'm not saying Brooks is Lechler, I'm just saying if Brooks returns to his SR. year stats than he could be a better value in the short term and be around a lot long than Lechler.

I beg to differ. We are talking about a punter here, not a corner back.
Let's say Ted gives him a five year contract. He will be 37 when his contract is over.
Shane has played 8 years. He is a baby with eight years behind him as a punter. That is nothing for a top rated punter. The best punters, that are proven, last way beyond that.
Ray Guy retired at 37 and he was still booming them. Jeff Feagles... Last year was his 21st in the NFL. Sean Landeta played 19 years... I could go on and on.
Shane is special. I would say he he should be a major target for Ted to bring to Green Bay in F.A. It would be a brilliant move, and the Packers would not have to worry about that position for the next five years.
Punters are so important in the NFC North.
