Punter Andy Lee will remain with the Cardinals for another season. NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports (via Twitter) that Arizona has exercised the veteran’s option for 2018. Previous reports indicated that the punter will earn a 
$1MM base salary for next season.
Lee joined the Cardinals last September after being released by the Panthers. The 35-year-old made a name for himself in San Francisco, where he earned three Pro Bowl births during his 11-year tenure with the organization. He bounced between the Browns and Panthers before landing in Arizona for the 2017 season. After being limited to only nine games in 2016, Lee appeared in all 16 games last year, averaging 47.3 yards per punt. He also landed 29 punts inside the 20, his best total since 2012.
Earlier this week, the Cardinals re-signed long snapper Aaron Brewer, meaning they’ll be retaining their their special teams core (which includes kicker Phil Dawson) in 2018.
No comments? Does that mean fans don’t care about punters and their doings?
