Pats match Sauerbrun offer
Hey all --
The Patriots apparently will once again have a glut of punters on their roster, as they have matched the one-year, $1.4 million offer the Broncos made to Todd Sauerbrun last week.
The 34-year old punter spent the final five games of the season, including playoffs, with the Patriots. As part of his contract, Sauerbrun agreed to give the Patriots the right of first refusal, though as a 12-year veteran he would have been an unrestricted free agent.
Sauerbrun averaged 43.7 yards per punt with New England, which now has four punters under contract -- Sauerbrun, Josh Miller, Danny Baugher and Tom Malone. Baugher and Malone are currently in NFL Europa, with the Rhein Fire and Berlin Thunder, respectively.
