Per John Clayton:
Sauerbrun's deal is reportedly 1 Yr/$820K (Vet Minimum). There are $600K in incentives, a no trade clause and clauses that prohibit the franchise or transition designation being used on him after this season.
What was Miller's injury again? I guess I must have forgot...
Don't make me start a "who is your favorite Jewish Patriot" thread in this holiest of seasons.
I believe it was circumcision-related.
What do you think of my sitcom idea, Patjew?
It's called Paddy, the Irish Mohel. His secret is just a touch of the Bushmill's to steady the nerves.
Every episode is the same, he always drinks too much and everyone wonders if he can rise to the occasion.
Hilarity ensues.
Sauerbrun outpunted the coverage in the Titans game and Pacman got a full head of steam and took one back on us 80+. I remember Bilichick blew up on Sauerbrun - maybe BB was just pissed that he had just lost his de facto captain for the playoffs. Whatever, he was a good fill in for the stretch run but the job is Miller's.
Sounds painfully funny. But the joke might get flacid after a couple episodes.

Que? Much better?
Career numbers
Miller:
43.1 average
35.9 net average
247 kicks inside the 20
101 touchbacks (which isn't a good thing)
Sauerbrun:
44.0 average
36.0 net average
250 kicks inside the 20
102 touchbacks
I'm not going to stand here and say that Sauerbrun is the much better punter either. I do however prefer Sauerbrun's leg strength over Miller's.
Will all respect to the punter, it's Andre Tippett by a mile!
What organization is MOST obsessed with the New England Patriots?
My vote in order: #1: DENVER; #2: NY JETS; #3: INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
I think Todd's reputation for being a mouthy PITA in a locker room where he's not happy is probably reason enough to just be done with him.
Apparently his love for all things Denver, the team who dumped him last season, far outweights anything he owes BB for picking his ass off the scrap heap last winter and giving him a chance at redemption. We really could use that barf smilie some days...
Sauerbrun hoping deal unmatched

Todd Sauerbrun has nothing against the New England Patriots. He simply wants to be a Bronco again.
"My heart is in Denver, and it always will be," Sauerbrun said Tuesday. "I felt so at home when I was in Denver. I love everything about that place. I love playing for Mike Shana- han, I love (new special-teams coach) Scott O'Brien. I want to retire as a Bronco." <barf>
Ending a week of negotiations, the Broncos and Sauerbrun agreed to a one-year contract Tuesday. But New England has a week to match the offer for the former Pro Bowl punter. Sauerbrun's agent, David Canter, informed the Patriots of the deal early Tuesday.
New England is likely to match the deal for Sauerbrun, who was released by Denver in October after finishing a four-game NFL suspension for using a banned substance. Sauerbrun starred for Denver in 2005 after he was acquired from Carolina in a trade. He was signed by New England in December.
The Broncos' deal features clauses for no trades, no transition and no franchise tags, and is incentive-based. New England could be swayed by the provisions and the incentives. The Patriots usually don't include such language in their contracts. Sauerbrun's desire to play in Denver and the fact New England has three punters on its roster could prompt New England to allow Sauerbrun, who played in just four games for the Patriots, to move on.
Sauerbrun, 34, said after he was cut by Denver that he wanted to return. Those feelings only increased when the Broncos hired O'Brien in January. Sauerbrun flourished under O'Brien with Carolina. Sauerbrun said he hopes to get the chance to make it up to the Broncos for being suspended last season, essentially ending his stint in Denver.
"I owe the Broncos one," Sauerbrun said. "I want to prove to them that I am worthy of a long-term deal there after screwing up last year."
