Patriots Fill Punter Vacancy with Corliss Waitman Signing.

The New England Patriots have signed free agent punter Corliss Waitman to fill their only true vacancy on the roster. Waitman slightly upgrades the Patriots' punt game, but the team will likely still add a rookie to the mix for long-term stability. Waitman also offers some kickoff and holding experience, which could have a positive impact on the Patriots' field goal and extra point operation. The signing likely means that unrestricted free agent Michael Palardy will not be brought back.
