It’s hard for any franchise and fan base to move on from a long-term performer, especially one who is entrenched as the longest-tenured player on a team. For the Kansas City Chiefs, the move to release punter Dustin Colquitt this offseason proves exactly that as the team decided to finally turn the page on a 15-year-long era and bring in a new competition for the specialist role.
The writing has been on the wall for the last offseason or two, but it was still a bit of a shock to see the Chiefs decide to move on from Colquitt.
