Buh bye Britton Colquitt
Britton Colquitt may be one of the better punters in the league, and that’s a definite positive. Unfortunately, he’s also getting paid like it, and that’s a definite negative.
Colquitt is set to make $3.25 million this season, which is second most in the league for any punter, only trailing is brother, Dustin ($3.6 million). There had been speculation that Elway would try to get out from underneath that money, and with the selection of Riley Dixon in the seventh round, it would now be a surprise if Colquitt plays another game for the Broncos.
If Denver had simply wanted to give Colquitt some camp competition, they would have brought a guy in during free agency. The fact that they actually drafted Dixon shows that Elway wanted him, specifically.
Unless Dixon completely flames out or Colquitt agrees to a massive pay cut, the six-year Bronco veteran will be looking for a new job.
