Title: Jason Elam Kicking and Punting

Broncos: Elam the punter?
Jan 7, 2003 11:16 AM ET
The News
According to the Denver Post, the best way for free agent Jason Elam to get re-signed by the Broncos is to kick and punt in 2003. "I haven't done it in a long, long time. I did it in college and thought I was very effective," Elam said. "I think I would have to show somebody in the preseason that I'm effective at it, in order to really get a shot at it. But I would love to get a chance."

Our View
With the Broncos set to be $15 million over the cap, re-signing Elam to a high-dollar deal will be tough. But if he can play two positions, it may alter their thinking. That said, will Elam's leg make it through 16 games of kicking, punting, and kicking off? We would love to see Elam remain a Bronco, but despite this possibility, he's probably done in Denver. Perhaps the Giants will give Elam's agent a call.

Elam to the Giants? Could the Giants actually sign a decent Kicker for once?!

Shanahan doesn't seem to high on Elam anymore.

Is the kicking problem in NY reall Bryant, or the snapper/holder combo? At one point Bryant was looking pretty god stat wise.

Well, Bryant was having a solid year, at one point, I believe he made something like 12/12 FGs. Though, all below 40+ yards. They need a kicker with range, not neccesarily accuracy, though Elam has got incredible range, and accuracy, great upgrade at Kicker for them.

I'd take Elam in a Giants uniform anyday!

Elam was second in scoring among AFC kickers in what I considered to be a sub-par season for him. He's become so reliable over the years that I've come to expect perfection (Especially when the game is on the line). That being said, you'd have to think that his best days are behind him and I trust the judgment of the Bronco management. It's been a great run and I'd hate to see him go. :'(

I figured someone would take that out of context, but I thought it would have been Philly... ::)

Read your link, Walker. Didn't notice anything about punting and kicking. This is good news for Denver and Elam.
