Detroit lion that is.

"It was a wave of emotions for former Saint Arryn Siposs before becoming an NFL player. He had just missed out on the draft along with two other Aussies, until a swift move saw him taken.
AAP, Herald Sun
Arryn Siposs has achieved his NFL dream five years after a third shoulder reconstruction ended his AFL career with St Kilda.
Detroit Lions swooped in and signed the 27-year-old punter minutes after the three-day, seven-round marathon NFL Draft concluded on Saturday. "

Re: Former saint Siposs now a lion.
Yeah they are in the same Division as us. And have been a joke for 30 years. Always find a way to stumble.
They do always get a Thanksgiving Day game though (along with The Cowboys) and that is a huge day for NFL.
Any playing time will be cherished I think. And the money is so much better than AFL.
Good luck Arryn. You have earned it after your performance at Auburn.

But I guess making his 5 year St Kilda wage in one season could be an incentive.

Re: Former saint Siposs now a lion.
If you can't make them new first downs you have to kick the ball away for position or if in range go for a field goal.
As a punter on a hopeless team he could get plenty of action.
But the team has other punters, he has to perform to stay on the roster and out perform team mate punters to get games.

He may even feel right at home losing games.

Re: Former saint Siposs now a lion.
Love it. Was always fond of him as a player. Still remember that first game he played at the G where he belted the ball around 60 metres straight on to the chest of Roo I think and thinking 'Finally someone who can bloody kick.'
Good luck to the man.

didn't I see you in Las Vegas?
Arryn will not kick for a field goal. That is the kickers job.
During the season, there is only one punter, one kicker, one long-snapper on a team. So he will get every punt when the coach calls for a punt.
You are correct though if you are talking about training camp. They have a few who compete for various positions.

Re: Former saint Siposs now a lion.
We chatted with Sippa on Unpluggered last week. He's a ripper fellow and has worked hard to get where he is now. He's currently still in Alabama preparing for the move to Detroit and doing his rookie camp in isolation.

Re: Former saint Siposs now a lion.
Shame. It was cutdown day yesterday. The Lions went with the other fella and Aaron was cut.

Re: Former saint Siposs now a lion.
But he’s been added to their practice squad. I’m not sure what that means in terms of contract etc.

First that is great news. If he was not on the practice squad he may not play anywhere.
And if they thought he was crap they would just delist him and put another punter on the practice squad.
It means:
1. You do get a contract. It would be $x00,000 dollars. Not chicken feed.
2. You cannot be picked up by another club (yet).
3. You get train train like/with everybody else. You would attend all games in uniform.
4. You can get cut any day.
5. If the punter is injured or plays poorly you could be in the next game. Or even next play.
So there is currently a thread to grasp for Aaron.

Re: Former saint Siposs now a lion.
FYI I just had a peek a practice squad salary.
Practice squad players earn considerably less than active squad players: in 2020, the minimum salary for a practice squad player was $8,400 per week ($142,800 for 17 weeks), and the minimum rookie salary was $610,000. Some practice squad players are paid considerably more, however.
Aaron could live in hope for $8k per week I reckon.

Re: Former saint Siposs now a lion.
Astounded he is only 27! Seems to be from another era all together. Time I didn’t follow the Saints much. That 2011 was a bummer of a year, and the game he was dropped, after playing five games, was a portent For dark clouds on the horizon. Round 11, 2011 and we get done by Collingwood by 57! 2011 was ‘orrible, start to finish.
28 games in five seasons with injuries.
Poor guy gets a + COVID result days before they decision ....gee.
