IgotBILLStopay Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29107537/source-chiefs-release-punter-dustin-colquitt-15-years This is the brother of Britton Colquitt, who we had interest in last off season - but he chose to go to the Vikings. Dustin's release is cap related not performance related. I think we should seriously look at signing this Super Bowl winner. Edit: Small chance he may retire - but I doubt it. see Quote In an Instagram post, Colquitt said: "I have enjoyed my time in Chiefs Kingdom, all things come to an end, sometimes sooner than you hoped, prayed & pleaded for them to." And Punters do tend to age well. Just FYI - he was a THIRD round draft pick in 2005! Edited April 28, 2020 by IgotBILLStopay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Boy Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Not sure if he’s the answer but we have to be able to do better than Ba-Joke-uez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 As a one year rental, the answer is absolutely yes. Still a fine player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 At this point if you are looking for a proven punter I don't think you will do better than Colquitt who was a good punter last season. I think you almost have to sign him if you are the Bills 2-3 million isn't going to break the bank or impact your flexibility going forward the much. But Bojo shanking 2-3 punts badly could cost you a game or two. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 We passed on Shane Lechler, so I don't see why we'd go after Colquitt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 This is a small piece of why this would be a great signing - he’s played in the afc west his whole career and we play them all this year. Should have good competitive intelligence. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billl Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 It was absolutely performance related. He’s going to be in the Chiefs ring of honor, but he’s been a shell of himself for two seasons. Takes forever to kick it and has no pop in his leg when he does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
