#Broncos P Sam Martin is being released today by Denver after indicating he would refuse any pay reduction. He was a top 5 punter statistically in 2021 and set Broncos all-time record for net punting last season. Will have interest.
Looks like the Bills new punter.

Makes sense! Martin is a good punter and the Bills need one.

I am glad Sam refused. Seems like a petty move by the Broncos, considering how little Sam Martin actually made. I am going to guess they wanted him to cut his pay somewhere between $500k to $1M. So now they get to “pay” him $500k for not being on the team. Dumb.

Hoping they do the same thing Javonte and cut him. Let’s go, Brad!!! go get that handsome MF’r.
There is a fine line between being financially responsible and petty . . . this seems like the later. Players in locker room will take notice.

Martin has to be reading the Bills situation and made a calculated move to call the Broncos demands.
He would have either retained his salary or sign with a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Either way he wins…well, if he becomes a Bill of course.
Lots of hand wringing over this Broncos team outside of Russel Wilson out here in Denver. The new coach Hackett has a lot on his plate for his first year, especially with the new ownership watching.

I don’t know. Somebody else just released a 3x pro bowl punter.

Sign Martin back to Punt. Fox is the backup QB, problem solved! Release Boyle and Blow.

They’ll love his clutch 14 yard punts

He’s nowhere near Fox, but, he’s a very good punter.
Brockers was asked for a pay cut for the rams too and when he refused, he got traded. Part of the deal in Holmes trading for him for a future 7th was that he’d do an extension to get Brockers the minimum he wanted so he could retire in 2-3 years.
Still one of my favorite Lions
Would be kind of hypocritical of the Bills being that Martin gang raped all of us in the Cowboys playoff game.

To think we wanted their GM to be our GM.

The only issue I have ever had with our coaching staff is why can’t we start him at QB, S, and P? How much could you save on cap $$ WHILE freeing up 2 roster spots???
Get’r’done, Holmes!
