Title: Dolphins Sign Punter Jake Bailey Post by: EDGECRUSHER on March 17, 2023, 04:08:27 pm There is definitely a weird story to this one. Bailey was drafted by the Pats in the 5th round and did very well his first few years, he then signed a 4 year extension and got hurt. He returned and was suspended for something to do with disagreeing about the team's treatment of his injury. This voided all of his guaranteed money. I think he's still fighting this in court.
Either way, when healthy he should be very good for us. Punter has always been very underrated. A great kick can make up for a 3 and Out.

I’m curious what he got paid because I really thought we should have brought him back. He even publicly was kind of promoting staying in Miami.

I hate the idea of guaranteeing money to a punter that finished the season on the IR list. Easy enough to draft a punter in the 7th round or bring in a few UFA's to compete for the job.
