The Bills waived rookie punter Matt Araiza four days ago, and they have not replaced him yet. They worked out four punters over the weekend, and, according to the NFL’s personnel notice, former Broncos punter Sam Martin was in Buffalo for a visit Wednesday.

The Bills have also worked out punters Michael Palardy, Ty Long, Tyler Newsome and Joseph Charlton but Martin should be the frontrunner considering he’s considered one of the top punters in the league.

Update: The Bills have signed Martin to a contract.
