Rookie punter Matt Haack beats out Matt Darr
Saw on Barry Jackson's twitter that the Phins are going with Matt Haack over Matt Darr. Hacck definitely outperformed Darr this offseason from everything I've heard and seen, so not really a surprise. Too bad we couldn't get a pick for Darr.

Here's an article about it:

Matt Haack is younger and cheaper than Matt Darr.
And when he out-performed his teammate in training camp and the preseason, the Dolphins made their decision:
They will have a different punter for the third time in four years.
The Dolphins cut Darr Friday
...
The final preseason stats told the story.
Haack, a rookie out of Arizona State, averaged 46.9 yards per punt with a net of 44.3.
Darr, who was entering his third season, averaged 44.3 yards per punt, but with a much lower net (35.3).
...
The move saves the Dolphins $150,000 against the 2017 cap, but would save them far more in the years to come. Darr would have soon entered free agency, while Haack will be cheap for at least the next three years.

Three punters in four years.
That's actually really funny to me.

Not much job security if you're a kicker in Miami!

Darr stunk IMO.
When he needed a boomer he got off a dribbler and when he needed a boomer, he dribbled one!
Good riddance.

Seems like we change kickers as much, if not more than anyone else.

This happens to a lot of guys when they get older.
