Chiefs re-signed P Dustin Colquitt to a five-year, $18.75 million contract, including $8.9 million guaranteed.
The deal makes Colquitt the NFL's highest paid punter. $8.9 million guaranteed is unheard of for a specialist. Going on 31, Colquitt was recently deemed a "bomber" by new Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub, who is among the most well respected assistants in football. Colquitt earned his first Pro Bowl trip in 2012. He's also consistently been among the most dangerous directional punters in the game with egg-beater punts that are difficult to catch.

Colquitt earned the first Pro Bowl berth of his eight-year career in 2012 by leading the league with 20 punts inside the 10-yard line. "I like the punter," Toub said. "I like him a lot. I never really had a punter than bombed the ball like this."

According to Chiefs P Dustin Colquitt, Todd Haley believed Josh McDaniels was cheating during his stint as Broncos head coach.

"It has something to do with the Spygate, the videotaping," Colquitt said, explaining why Haley refused to shake McDaniels' hand after a game last year. "... And I think that Haley was like, ‘Listen, based on that game I can tell what you are doing, and you are cheating.’ ... So Todd was just kind of saying, ‘Look, with the game plan we had and what you guys already knew we were gonna do, this is’ ... basically saying it was ‘bush, bush league.’"

It's the same injury that kept him out two games earlier this season. If Colquitt re-strains that groin, P Steve Weatherford will have to step in.

Colquitt is one Kansas City's best players, which says a lot. He didn't make the trip to New York. Weatherford was with New Orleans the last few years.

Dustin Colquitt - P - Chiefs

Chiefs re-signed punter Dustin Colquitt to a five-year contract.

Colquitt doesn't have a monster leg, but puts a nasty spin on the ball and returners rarely gain yards against him. He would've been a restricted FA.

Pro Bowl kick returner Dante Hall is among many impressed by rookie punter Dustin Colquitt, whose kicks have a unique spin.

''I figured out what it does,'' Hall said. ''It starts left, goes right, comes back left, hangs and does some other freaky stuff. I haven't had a guy give me that much trouble at any level - college, high school, the pros. He's well worth the third-round pick.''

Dustin Colquitt - P - Chiefs

The Chiefs drafted punter Dustin Colquitt with the 99th pick in the NFL Draft.

A punter on day one? Dick Vermeil loves special teams, but using one of his two first day picks on a punter is questionable considering their defensive depth.
