He decided not to tackle on a kick return in a preseason game and they got rid of him....which is why they are the browns. The Panthers had made it very clear they wanted a good punter coming in to season. They are built on field position and value that position highly.

I think it's more along the lines of "Andy Lee WAS one of the best Punters in the league."

He hasn't been to a Pro Bowl since 2011, hasn't been All-Pro since 2012. He's 34 years old now.


2015:
Lee-  46.7 avg/40.1 net
Huber- 45.8 avg/40.5 net

2014:
Lee- 46.8 avg/39.6 net
Huber- 46.8 avg/42.1 net


Huber is a good Punter, but nobody has confused him with the best in the league and he's been arguably better. I think as long as the Punter you get in return isn't total crap, the margin of difference is so small that the draft pick makes it worth it.
