Saints will keep the longsnapper around a little longer

me too, but I also figured de la Puente would get a long term deal before Drescher

 

[kewinn89]

Glad to have him back

Championship!!

No seriously, that is a quality signing.

Hopefully it is in the works for DLP. I would like to keep him around long term and drop his cap number (much like we did with Jr.'s deal).

why wouldn't this be news? he wasn't tendered so I figured Saints might be going in a different direction

Someone on Twitter actually asked Morstead if he knew the guy. Guess not everyone is familiar with the LS on a team.

“@steven3210: @thomasmorstead Do you know this Drescher guy?" Haha You could say that... He's been @Saints snapper for 3 years #4MoreYears

+1, thanks I needed that laugh

It would've been funnier if he asked that to Hartley since they went to high school together

It will be even funnier than that if @steven3210 is a member here and finds us having a good laugh at his expense.

Much respect to Long-snappers... nobody cares about them until they fire one over the punter's head... excellent signing congrats on the new deal Mr Drescher.

Good simple signing, get doing what you do JD

I've never seen a 4-year contract for a long-snapper. Obviously our FO feels very confident in his ability to keep performing at a high-level for several years. Congrats to Drescher!
