Steelers punter out for the year
 

Maybe we should trade one of our punters for a draft pick or linebacker while we can. I say keep Brooks even if unproven.

I don't think Frost is tradeable.

Re: Steelers punter out for the year
 

Nonsense. We'll give them Frost for a 7th rounder, 6th if he meets performance incentives.

Seriously though that sucks for the Steelers. Daniel Sepulvida was one of the best young punters in football. I think they are going to have a hard time filling his shoes.

Re: Steelers punter out for the year
 

Why would they trade for one of our guys if they know we're going to end up cutting one when we pare down to 53?

Thinking caps, people.

They are not guaranteed to get whoever gets cut.

I probably should've used the /sarcasm tag I usually put when I'm being sarcastic.

This totally kills my fantasy football strategy.

Oh right. I'm sure teams will be absolutely beating down Derrick Frost's door when he hits the market.

Re: Steelers punter out for the year
 

LOL trade for a punter?

:doh:

Re: Steelers punter out for the year
 

I'm thinking Frost for Polamalu. They're desperate!

We drafted a punter on the 6th round, I guess the Skins are dumb for that?

Re: Steelers punter out for the year
 

its possible we could trade frost for someone they'd probably cut anyways... avoid the waiver rush, get guys into the system early...

Exactly!

Even in Madden you can't trade a punter! C'mon people, we're better than that..

Be super smart!

Re: Steelers punter out for the year
 

nobody here wants to trade Frost for Brett Favre? ( relax, its a joke)

Re: Steelers punter out for the year
 

I don't understand why anyone would say to get rid of Frost before we even see what this other guy can do. While Frost is not the best punter he got the job done and seems to get a little better each year.

Not the same thing.

The last trade involving a punter I recall was 3-4 years ago involving Sauerbrun, but Frost isn't on his level at all. And since Denver was involved, you have to throw out all conventional wisdom since they trade and sign just about anybody.

Re: Steelers punter out for the year
 

Anybody remember Ed Bunn? Our [B]third[/B] round pick from 1993 (two picks ahead of John Lynch!!!) Bunn never made the team......and Kelly Goodburn was his competition!! Charley Casserly......Ed Bunn? Maybe Charley Casserly......My point is, success at the punter position, for some reason is difficult to predict. If Brooks shanks any punts during preseason, Frost is here to stay.

Re: Steelers punter out for the year
 

Actually, I don't remember him. :D

Don't forget the vet min contract.

Re: Steelers punter out for the year
 

I say Frost for a number one and a conditional 3rd (over 35 yards per punt average) and we all go home.

Agreed. Nobody will ever trade anything for a P/K. the fact that teams sometimes use draft picks on them is almost frowned upon so don't expect us to be doing anything but releasing one of those guys.
