The Green Bay Packers claimed P Jacob Schum off waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and released P Tim Masthay. The transactions were announced Tuesday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson.

Masthay didn't feel like he'd won anything... I guess neither did Ted Thompson.

Circular Arguments: They are a heck of an annoyance

Is that a hard "ch" sound as in school? Jake Scum? Or... ch as in champion? The Schum bucket for Sponge Bob fans. Wow... a pretty drastic move in Packer circles.

Did not see that coming. You would think you'd bring him in to compete in final week of preseason not just jettison Masthay before seeing this guy punting for you. I realize they saw him punt for Tampa but people react differently in different circumstances.

Can he hold? Perhaps, he's the reason their rookie kicker missed so many kicks?

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Didn't Mathstay have one of those AJ Hawk contracts to boot, no pun intended?

I don't get that either. First and foremost you'd hope to see the guy play with your team and how he works with Crosby. Maybe bringing him in would have been a distraction.

Risky, but punting has not been great the last couple of years.

Hopefully this guy can punt in the cold.

This kinda feels like Jon Ryan for Derrick Frost to me.

We'll be Schum's fourth team in four years. Last year was the only year he actually punted for his team. This doesn't fill me with the warm and fuzzies. Hope I'm wrong.

Maybe we sign Peter Mortell to the practice squad. Has a punter ever been on the PS?

Our starting punter may not be on the roster atm, we'll see who gets cut on the way to 53. I think Schums' audition is just beginning if they don't see what they want he'll be shown the door before jacksonville.

You know, Kanata...the only thing that makes great sense to me is that Ted didn't want to have to eat a roster spot by carrying another punter. He would've had to make another cut to keep Tim around with bringing Schum on board. Plus, he must've known he didn't want Masthay for sure so he acted when he saw someone for free that he could get in his stead.

I guess the upside if my theory is correct is that he really loves the guys we have left and values all of them. He sure IR'ed a lot of his first cuts. Gotta believe he's going to IR a lot of the next wave of them because he can't stand parting with them.
