Rams Sign Punter Corey Bojorquez

Rams sign punter Corey Bojorquez

Very interesting

 

[MadGoat]

Statistically he outperformed Hekker last year. I don't think he's necessarily the better punter, but I believe Hekker is the highest paid punter in the league. There might be some smoke here.

Hekker was a pecker last year. This guy is not a street free agent. And he averaged over 50 yards per. Hmmm

 

[TK42-RAM]

Not sure we would have signed Corey if we had full faith in JH -- his output was well down last year from previous seasons.

This is good, lots of camp legs as Jordan mentioned in a tweet. ST's really took a dive last year on every unit. I'm sure part of it was the new coach not being that good and part of it was probably less time to practice ST work in training camp due to Covid. My guess is all those legs will allow them to work a ton of guys as returners in camp.

I'd say the chances of them walking away from the draft without at least two returners (one drafted, one UDFA) is virtually nil.

Camp leg, remember the bears game last year

Put me down for wanting to keep Hekker - if the debate becomes a thing.

 

[SeminoleRam]

Just can’t imagine the Rams trading Hekker!!! But, I guess everyone/everything has a price!!!

Me, Too!!! He is just too good and way too much fun to watch!!!

Going to be busy in camp as we have a major tryout




for punt returners. Can't have Hekker doing all those kicks by himself.

Bojorquez is likely a camp leg but Hekker was out of form last season. We'll see how this turns out, doesn't hurt to have some iron sharpens iron competition

Interesting?

What does the Corey Bojorquez signing mean for Johnny Hekker?

Johnny Hekker has been the Rams’ punter since 2012, earning four Pro Bowl selections and being named a four-time All-Pro in that nine-year span. He’s been as steady as any punter in the NFL since coming into the league out of Oregon State, leading all players in…

It wasn’t just last season, Hekker wasn’t good in 19 either. Highest paid punter by far ($3.75 mil). Maybe he was hurt but makes too much to keep for his past greatness.

 

[Juggs]

No fucking chance Hekker goes anywhere....as I type this Jerry Jones is on the phone seeing what it would take. Bones is beating down his door.

I bet it’s more this than anything else.

 

[Flatlyner]

Highest paid punter in the NFL has not been the best punter in the last 2 years. I think there is something here.

Agreed. And he's not a camp leg. He's been the bills punter the last 3 years.

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

A "down" year for Hekker is still amongst the league's best. Didn't he have 5 punts inside the 5 one game this year? (EDIT: It was the 10 yrd line. I've added another supporting tweet)

I'm in the keep Hekker camp. These are bodies for the heated punt returner competition.

Hekker's dead cap hit is just under 2.4 mill, could spread it out over 21/22 with a post 6/1 cut/trade
I cant imagine he has any trade value

It's time for the Rams to start the Punter by Committee trend.
