Bengals sign punter

From Bengals PR:

The Bengals today signed free agent punter Danny Baugher to a two-year deal.

This is Baugher's second stint with Cincinnati. He signed with the Bengals as a college free agent out of Arizona in May 2006. He was waived shortly after training camp began later that year. He later was signed to New England’s practice squad, where he spent the last 11 games of the Patriots’ 2006 season. After being signed to the New England’s 2007 offseason roster last January, Baugher was waived by the Patriots on Aug. 30. He was not with an NFL team during the 2007 regular season.

Baugher was the nation’s top college punter in 2005 until a knee injury caused him to miss the final four games. His 47.5-yard avg. (on 37 punts) was the best in NCAA Division I and qualified as a school record, but he did not qualify for the official NCAA rankings because he did not play in 75 percent of his team’s games.

The Bengals' punter, Kyle Larson, is eligible for unrestricted free agency beginning Feb. 29.
