With Derrick Johnson’s departure via free agency and Tamba Hali’s assumed departure either through release or retirement, Dustin Colquitt stands as the last vestige of Carl Peterson’s near two decade reign with the Kansas City Chiefs. Colquitt is at the end of a contract that made him the highest-paid punter in football and saw him receive a base salary of just over $4 million in 2017.
With the Chiefs cap situation, paying a punter $4 million dollars is obviously out of the question. But at what price is Dustin Colquitt worth the extra money over a younger, less experienced leg?
