Cameron Johnston is gone and we have a big question mark at punter. Not the most important position on the roster but King is really good and available.

he is 32 but also is a punter so can play a lot longer than other positions. Think he would be out the guy we have now.

Yeah I mean they need to address the position and having a good punter is underrated.

I don't think they make any immediate moves ... I think they wait to get a decent look at Siposs first.  He reportedly does have a "booming leg" (nj.com's Kaye's words).  How well he can place the ball will need to be determined and likely dictate whether or not they need to add someone else.

Ok yeah that's fair. I mean if he has a big leg then hopefully then can help him with that accuracy and then he could be a good punter long term for this team.

His accuracy isn't great. When he played in the AFL he was known as a long kick that could cover a lot of distance but wasn't accurate consistently by foot

He is also 29 this year. He may have 5-10 years ahead of him as a punter but he isn't young.

since we didn’t draft a punter is this worth looking into?

Sure I think it would be. Sippos had a good start to his NFL career but he then fell off a cliff. They at least need to bring in some competition.

Having made only 5 picks I'm glad we didn't draft a punter.  I'm sure they'll be adding a punter or 2 to the mix in the coming weeks.
