I really dont think that's it - I remember Matt Turk being traded a few years ago

Why would team trade for punter or kick anyway?? They are dime a dozen.

Now I don't quite understand. You can actually get one dozen kickers/punters for a dime? I would think that would really help out your salary cap figures.

I'll treat that post as sarcasm, I would hope that I am not wrong in my treatment........

I am for the ability to trade punters and kickers. The game should at least allow you to do it. Oh, and i think they should have a few women represented in the game as well. What better place to start than with punters and kickers - unless its as head coaches!

He's right, Kickers and Punters in the NFL are not allowed to be traded.

Here is a quote about the Colts looking to trade Vanderjet

Please tell me where in the hell this information came from.

I've been watching football for as long as I can remember and typically I know this little stuff, but I've never ever heard this until this thread.
