New Miami Dolphins special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman has signed punter Ryan Stonehouse, a former Tennessee Titan, who has a proven track record with a 53.1 yards per punt average across his first two seasons. Despite a setback in 2023 due to injury, Stonehouse still managed a solid performance in 2024. However, his net punting average raises concerns that Aukerman may address, particularly his ability to minimize touchbacks. The signing may lead to the Dolphins parting ways with former punter Jake Bailey to save on salary cap space.
Stonehouse doesn't rank as high in net punting average, indicating potential issues with touchbacks or hangtime, despite being a strong distance punter.
Aukerman is reuniting with punter Ryan Stonehouse, who led the NFL with 53.1 yards per punt in his first two seasons.
Contracting Stonehouse could mean the Dolphins are planning to release Jake Bailey, saving $1.975 million toward the salary cap.
In 2024, while not under Aukerman in Tennessee, Stonehouse had a strong punting average but ranked low in net average, indicating potential issues.
