He said it was also because if the long snapper played another position and then got injured, it created problems for two units.
Well. NFL long snappers are amazing at their 1 job for sure. How often do you see them make a mistake? Not very often.

Let me really blow your mind: Were you aware that we had someone named Thomas Gafford doing that job for the 7 years in between Gammon and Winchester?

I have absolutely no recollection of that name. At all.
In Madden one year I made Gafford the MVP and rushing leader of the NFL. He was listed as a fullback in the game so I made him the starting RB. I tweeted Gafford with the screenshot of him winning MVP and all his crazy rushinh stats. He didn't care lol

Well done.

I don't have any problem paying the guy a few more bucks. While his agent said he's now the highest paid LS in the league, I doubt that his contract will break the bank. That long snap is a little harder than you think and he's often one of the 1st guys downfield on a punt.

Being the highest paid long snapper probably still only costs like a case of Natty Light and a back of cool ranch doritos...I'm sure the Chiefs can afford it. Good on him, he deserves it.

He's reliable, good deal.

Highest paid long snapper before Winchester's new contract was is 1.2m per yr. Gotta figure that Winchester is making around 1.5-1.75m per yr or so.
