See ya Kaser, Welcome Donnie Jones

The Chargers are making a change at punter.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the team has decided to sign Donnie Jones to their 53-man roster. Drew Kaser has been handling their punting chores, but will be dropped to make room for Jones.

Jones announced his retirement in late February after winning the Super Bowl with the Eagles, but was later released from the retired list so that he could return to active duty. Jones spent the last five seasons with the Eagles and has been in the NFL since 2004.

Kaser has been the Chargers punter since 2016. He kicked 13 times in the first four games this year and had one blocked in the end zone by the Rams.

Jones will also take over as the holder for kicker Caleb Sturgis, who has missed two field goals and three extra points so far this season.

Yeah... that will fix the place kicking problems... replace the holder!

Replace a young punter with a retired guy? What?

if his holding is the issue why did it take until now to see that and why has it not been corrected?

Uh........I know our Teams suck but......firing the punter?
Okay, I realize he probably took too many steps against the Rams( on the punt block) and out kicked the coverage against the Chiefs but he's certainly looked better than Sturgis.
I think they booted the wrong kicker.

[Heatmiser]

Kaser has been erratic since he was drafted and he did cost the chargers a couple games as a rookie one against the raiders when he mishandled a hold.

Jones has been a good punter over his career. How long until Stewart infects him?

Are you kidding me? Wow. They showed all of the missed kicks multiple times and the holds looked fine.

I guess at this point, we can only hope that this lights a fire under Sturgis' ass.

Seems like a terrible decision. Kaser had turned into a pretty good punter.

I believe that this was the holder for Sturgis when he played in Philadelphia.

I believe that this was the holder for Sturgis when he played in Philadelphia.

He was the Eagles punter for the past 5 seasons.
