I honestly don't pay that much attention to others teams punters but isn't Bartel pretty good?

I believe he will also be attending an Argo tryout camp. |

Yes, he is....and he's gotten a ton of work the past few years. This would be a kind of lateral move imo. |

Which is exactly why he'll probably end up in the CFL again. I'd say he's still got a few seasons left in him.
He's a pretty athletic guy for a kicker, so yea...I agree. |

Will sell a few jerseys and seats for whoever signs him and might divert some eyes from south of the border...

If I made it big and got to play in the NFL and retire in my late 30s a millionaire, and played the least physical position in the game, I would say hellz yeah to living in my home town and playing for the team I cheered for growing up.
It would be a fantastic story. Do not confuse my message- Riders still suck, obvs.

He'll do more than that. I realize you weren't a Bomber fan yet when Ryan was in the CFL, but he is a top notch punter. When he was here before he was easily the best punter I had ever seen, and I watched Bobby Cameron for 20 years. |

Really people get that excited for a punter? |

As excited as one gets for a punter. True they are not 1000 yard receivers, or QBs, but their work has an immense impact on every game. Whoever signs him is getting a very good ST player. He won't sell jerseys or put bums in the seat directly, but his contribution will help his team have a better chance to win....and winning sells jerseys and puts bums in seats. |

I remember Ryan absolutely crushing a couple of 70(ish) yard punts, and not all were wind assisted. So, yeah, as excited as you can get about a punter, he would be the one you'd get excited for.
As to what he can do today, who knows, but pretty sure he can still beat someone out for a job.

I have zero doubt he can beat someone out for a job in the CFL. The questions will be SMS/age and whether any teams want to part with a younger kicker to make room for him.

During the two years Ryan was here, he was literally the only reason fans would get out of their seats to applaud. |
