Steelers planning to sign Dustin Colquitt

[wazu]

Good for him, I guess. Was selfishly hoping he'd just be done and entire career would've been with the Chiefs.

He can’t flip the field anymore. Still pretty accurate, but his leg isn’t near what it once was.

[KCFalcon59]

Mans gotta eat! :D

[BossChief]

I’m concerned about our holder for XP’s. DC was equally as good of a holder as he was a punter.

That’s a critical job that doesn’t get attention till it blows up a game at a critical point.

Especially with a shortened offseason to practice.

[Buehler445]

Hopefully he’s going there as a plant.

I’m FUCKING PISSED!!!

I’m ready as soon as I get that call. I’m gonna charge my phone now just in case.

[gblowfish]

I got to talk to him for a long time at the Twisted Chief meet n greet last December. He grew up in Pittsburgh, so if he's got to go somewhere to make a living, it's a town that is home for him. So it's all good. He's just trying to make a few more NFL bucks while he can, and a guy has to go where the work is. Good luck except when he plays us.

I wish we’d go back to the days of having a QB be the holder. Henne probably has zero experience in that area, but is he any worse off than Townsend?

[38yrsfan]

It would have been a better franchise story to do a 'last season' and retire with the Chiefs. Wish the best for him.

It's time to consider no punt, 4 down football. We have the team. IMHO ;)

I have read where Townsend is a tremendous athlete, and that he and Butker are working well together.

Townsend looked terrible in the practice I saw. Hopefully, he was just having a bad day. Sir Shanksalot.

[Rain Man]

Hopefully Colquitt doesn't go all Antonio Brown there. Pittsburgh seems to make players weird.

He'll be in charge of slipping the roofies into drinks for Big Ben in no time.

[carcosa]

TRAITOR!!!!!

[The Franchise]

He’s a Steeler.

[TribalElder]

Gross

[Deberg_1990]

Nice signing. Certainly makes them an instant contender

[Gravedigger]

Meh maybe we’ll see him in the playoffs.

Bring him in for a hold?

1st answer is best answer! :clap::clap:

I has a sad.

[jjchieffan]

I wish that he had just retired this off-season. He could have went out on top, with a ring, on his own terms. Instead, he gets cut from the Chiefs and cut again after just 5 games with the Steelers. He deserved a better end to his career than that. But, at least he did get that ring first

[Graystoke]

Steelers punted him to the curb.

To bad. He should have retired a Chief

[alpha_omega]

Rough, but he'll always have a ring.

[WhawhaWhat]

Instead, he gets cut from the Chiefs and cut again after just 5 games with the Steelers.

also he gets $1 million.

[DaFace]

also he gets $1 million.

I THINK he only gets the prorated salary, so around $325k. Still, that's $325k he wouldn't have had if he'd retired.

Wonder why the Steelers are cutting him, though. He's been fine this season from what I can tell, and it's not like he's commanding a huge salary.

[gblowfish]

Dude is just trying to make a living. He's a good guy. Hope he makes KC his permanent home.

[Rain Man]

Rough, but he'll always have a ring.

Two of them if he's the high bid on Mike Weber's.

[Dante84]

Didn't he just save their asses on a hold this past week? Bad snap, fixed the hold, made the kick?

[dlphg9]

Two of them if he's the high bid on Mike Weber's.

Has that happened yet?

[Bill Brasky]

Yep. You gotta earn what you can while in the NFL. Smart business move.

Can he kick extra points?

[alanm]

Can he kick extra points?I could be wrong but is Butker's yips being caused by the way our new punter is catching and placing the ball for him? He's always been used to Colquitt. :hmmm:

[Third Eye]

All the metrics I’ve seen have had him listed at or near the bottom.

Hope he sees a lot of action that day.

[gblowfish]

Colquitt was last in the NFL in Net Punting. Since the rosters have expanded for Covid this season, Steelers had a rookie on the practice squad as a replacement. They have a little concern about how he'll do holding for field goals, but Tomlin wanted better production in the punt game. Can't blame him, he's in a battle for the AFC North and every yard matters.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

He's been pure garbage punting, so.....

Why would he want to go live in a shithole like Atlanta?

That's the truth, holy shit that place sucks.

[Mephistopheles Janx]

Why would he want to go live in a shithole like Atlanta?

He could, and likely would, live in Buckhead.

[KC Hawks]

Colquitt hasn't been good for 3 years.

[bsp4444]

Have you seen our current punter?

[KC Hawks]

Have you seen our current punter?

Not for a while, actually.

[Dunerdr]

Get that MF coin Dustin!

[ChiefsCountry]

You don't need an all world punter with Mahomes like you did with Alex Smith.

[FlaChief58]

Sexual chocolate? :shrug:

Not like field position matters with our defense anyway.

I don't know, they worked together awful well.

No one was better at setting up the punter than Alex Snith
