Bingo! Hence my, "not publicly," comment, as punters are typically not mentioned as hot commodities in FA.

I think Lee and Lechler have the been the only punters ever, to get talked about in FA or otherwise (actually, for the, "otherwise," part, add Marquette King lol)

Of Punters with at least 700 plus punters, his average of 45.3 per punt is only bested significantly by Kern (46), Lee (46.5) and Lechler (47.6).

Of Punters with 700 plus punts his net average is 5th best of all time at 40.4, even better than Lechler. Which means he's not just line driving it, he's allowing his coverage to close in.

He's outlasted just about ever Bengal in terms of games.

That is helped with excellent coaching and being a savvy punter; combine the two and you can see why our STs is superb, on the whole.
