Quote:Special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons didn't rule anything out when asked about potentially adding another punter. 

"Yeah, I would think so," Simmons said when asked about adding another punter. "Anytime you have competition there, it brings out the best." 
Instead of adding competition for Robbins, could they go out and sign a top punter like Tommy Townsend? 
Townsend played with Evan McPherson at Florida. He's scheduled to become a free agent. 
"There's some guys out there that are potentially going to be available that are very interesting that could certainly help us," Simmons said. "I think it just got to be an organizational decision on where we want to move that money to."
Simmons made it clear that he believes Robbins could take a big step forward and be the guy, but they're clearly open to adding to that room in hopes of solving their punter issues in 2024. 
"There's certainly a lot of room for improvement," Simmons said. "If you go back and look statistically where his rookie year was and comparison like what Kevin Huber's was, it's still better. I don't want to overreact here. I think that's part of my job is to help develop him and make him better. I think he is the right mindset. He's very open to him, you know things that we bring up in techniques. We might want to change a little bit the to help that production, but it's certainly an area we got to get better at quick."

It may be a smokescreen, but I don't think it is.
We may need to remove any thoughts of a tag-and-trade scenario.

I mean, this has been pretty clear for months. Though I am glad some folks are getting the message. Welcome to the party. 

This will be a VERY interesting offseason. Aside from QB, DE, PK, & LS, I think every position group either has an open starting spot (RT, NT/DT, WR3, TE), could stand a starter upgrade AND needs depth upgrades (CB, S, IOL, RB, DT/NT), needs a starter upgrade (P), or better depth (LB). 

I favor trying to go after higher grade FAs first at our biggest need areas (DT/NT, OT) but realize we may not be able to land top tier guys at those spots. Some spots may be better suited to be filled via the draft anyway with deep classes (OT, WR, CB). And I would not mind spending big on a stud CB, S, TE (Schultz), IOL, P, or even RB (Henry).

myself. Adding Geno Stone from the Ravens while freeing up Dax to make plays might be the best move to really improve the Defense while adding
a few physical DT's.
