Spencer Lanning is the favorite to win the Browns punting job. Lanning, who has never punted in an NFL game, will be competing against T.J. Conley in training camp. Lanning has a squatty build at 5'11" and 200 pounds, which he believes is a benefit to kicking in cold weather. He has the ability to place kick and hold, making him more versatile than Conley. Lanning also has a history with special teams coach, Chris Tabor, making him a virtual lock to win the job.

Browns signed P Spencer Lanning. A second-year undrafted free agent, Lanning has never punted in an NFL game. He gives the Browns insurance in case free agent Reggie Hodges isn't re-signed.

Jets claimed P Spencer Lanning off waivers from the Browns. Lanning will apparently compete with T.J. Conley for punting duties. The Bears also put in a claim, attempting to add insurance for Adam Podlesh (hip).

Browns claimed P Spencer Lanning off waivers from the Jaguars. The Browns had already waived Richmond McGee, leaving only Reggie Hodges (Achilles surgery) on the roster. Lanning could be insurance in case Hodges struggles in his return this summer.

Jaguars signed P Spencer Lanning to a reserve/future contract. Lanning went undrafted in 2011 out of South Carolina. The Jags have played musical chairs at punter since losing Adam Podlesh to a pricey deal in Chicago.
