Has had a terrific camp and an underated punter. He's got those pooch punts <20 yard line down to an art. In TC, he's been consistenly nailing them inside the 5.
Good on him. Now go buy yourself a soul, young man.
Can't think of a better gig in football than the punter for this offense.
Awful lot of scratch for a guy that doesn't see the field much.

Well that's one draft pick we don't have to worry about for the next couple years!
Opie deserves it. Karma came around and rewarded the Packers for letting Hentrich go/drafting BJ Sander.
Good news. Deserves the reward for his fourth quarter punts in the Chicago NFCCG...
Is there even other kickers in camp besides Masthay and Crosby?
I don't think Crosby has missed a FG in camp so far. He also forced the team to break out the juggs machine on KO's (or coaches standing at the 5 tossing balls to the return guys) becasue all of his are sailing through the end zone.
Man that's beautiful to hear. So many years of crappy kickers in Green Bay and now we have two of the best.
Congrats to the Ginger Wolverline
Good deal....very good shape on Special teams with Cobb in the mix and more touchbacks on kickoffs.
SlowDumDum ewe the man

Irresponsible extension. If there is a punter you like in the next couple of drafts you still need to trade up to get him.. then you are saddled with this contract... I do like having two punters for depth though.
Good for him. I hear the lack of a soul also contributes to "shrinkage" issues.
Remember the training camp competition a few years ago ?? Masthay vs. Bryan ?? It was close.... the Pack picked the right guy !!!
Pretty much set with Long Snapper, Kicker, and Punter !!!

Why, that little bastard.
TT was wasting time working on a deal for Masthay when he should have been working on an extension for Jennings, Matthews, or Rodgers? 
GMC = Goode,Masthay,Crosby good combination !!!
Cut BiSHop so thERe the teaM will have A back-up puNter on the active roster!! Don't be stupid ROTTT
and then there's guys that are NOT TT.

I've never even heard of him, not that it means much, but really? over 3mil a year for your punter? these are the guys that make the salary cap a problem.

Outstanding. Lock him down. Reasonable cost. Solid punter.

According to National Geographic, redheads might become extinct by the year 2060.

That explains his agent's demand for a front loaded contract.
Natural selection's tipping point.
