Browns sign kicker Riley Patterson, who has kicked for Detroit (twice) and Jacksonville.

He's made 88% of his field goals in his three years in the NFL, with a long of 53. 

I can only  IMAGINE  what his agent is dealing now, lol.   "OK, my guy wants ......"

Had a wonderful get together with old friends- good food and old wines.  1989 Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle, and others.

Well, based on Justin Tucker's current contract, he should ask "you're up shit creek without a paddle kicker situation"  About $350k per game.  ?

In 4 days we play the Jets with playoffs on the line.  Our punter isn't even qualified to be a backup kickoff guy?  

THat's what I've been saying. This guy went through his entire football life and never kicked a ball off a tee before? Now I understand why Bill Belichick likes players that are versatile.

We used to have a punter that could kick FG's.  It's a damned handy trait to have for a punter if you ask me.

Steve Cox?

That was a looooooooong time ago.

Him too.  The guy I'm talking about was fairly recent.  This century anyway.     But like Cox, he was thought to be used on extremely long FG attempts like at the end of a game or half...although I'm not sure we actually used his FG talent.  (or portion thereof)

.........So, if I'm not mistaken, it was Spencer Lanning.

I can't think of who that was, but yeah, it would be great to have kickers who can half-assed do the other guy's job too, in case of emergency.

Funny you mention, because I have Madden 25 for my PS3 and Spencer Lanning is my punter on that game. Shayne Graham is the place kicker and if you lose him in FA, the guy that handles the kick offs is Lanning.
