If it becomes a cap issue, they may make the move. I think they also don't want to put too much pressure on him though.

I would LOVE to have Burke Dales on our team... The Riders are really struggling with field position, largely due to their poor return game and average punters.

A couple years ago, Jamie Boreham was brought in specifically because they needed more depth to their punting. If you can punt, and cover well, your opponents have to go so much farther to get any points. If you receive a short punt, or get a good return, it takes much less yardage to even get points. It's like the 2001 Stampeders that won the Grey Cup. I love Crandell and all, but most of that game was won on field position. He had to good passes, and the rest was Duncan O'Mahoney's punting.
