The Patriots have signed veteran punter Chris Hanson and they have released Danny Baugher.  Hanson has punted 9 times this pre-season for the Saints and Patriots and he has only averaged 38.1 yards per punt, but, he has pinned the opposition inside the 20-yard line an amazing 4 times.  Hanson was the Jaguars punter last season and he kicked the ball 72 times for 2,920 yards (40.6 avg, 33.4 net avg) and he dropped 20 punts (17.8%) inside the 20 yard line.  Danny Baugher appeared to have a good shot of winning the punting job before the Patriots signed Hanson.  He punted the ball 9 times in the pre-season for the Patriots and he averaged 44.8 yards per punt while pinning the opposition inside the 20 yard line 2 times.
