Dustin Colquitt says he wanted one more year before retiring with Chiefs

On Thursday morning, former Kansas City Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt joined the “Fescoe in the Morning” program to discuss his recent release from earlier in the week as well as his 15-year tenure with the team. Right off the bat, the hosts ask Colquitt to speak about being cut and things were immediately interesting.

Colquitt was let go after a decade-and-a-half of being with the Chiefs—he was literally the only player who didn’t pre-date Andy Reid‘s tenure (2013)—earlier this week, and it was a move that came as quite a surprise. The Chiefs revealed their cards only recently by having Tyler Newsome on the roster as competition and then signing Tommy Townsend from the University of Florida as an undrafted free agent.
