Winters came on strong last year and looks to be our long-term starter. He's the best in the league at directional punting and has good kicking power. His chief rival is last year's 6th round pickup Mark Gilmore, who boomed after the draft. We couldn't find any trade partners for him last year, so we'll try again this offseason to see if we can't find him a good home.
Castorena probably saved his job by making 10 of his last 11 FG attempts in 2009. Even with that late-season success he wound up connecting on just 23 of 36 attempts (63.8%), by far the worst year of his career. He'd better turn things around this year.
