Do punters suddenly fall off frequently from age 36 to 37 like running backs at age 30?

Obviously the Chiefs were willing to move on from the oldest active punter in the league.

This was more of a cap casualty than a performance issue. I wouldn't cut Bojo to sign him but I would sign him to a one year deal and have Bojo and him competing in camp. I think he could be an upgrade to the current punting situation and for a decent one year deal he would be worth it and an upgrade over Bojo. If they don't do it and they go with an UDFA to compete with Bojo in camp I would be OK. But I think with a team ready to compete why not bring in a veteran punter to ensure every last nook and cranny of this team is as good as it can be?

I don't know if there are enough opportunities for three punters to compete for the job. I'd rather have the younger guys compete for a longer term job than have a one year rental of the oldest punter in the league, but that's just my opinion.
StHustle Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Very simple....he is very experienced, reliable and an UPGRADE...so what he is past his prime....sign em

Expand I don't think much of either Vedvik or Bojo to not try and get a good veteran punter in there. My opinion would be to cut Vedvik or Bojo and bring in Colquitt to compete with whomever doesn't get cut. But it is a fair enough take to say just stick with the young guys. I just don't really like what's on the roster as far as punters go so a vet coming off a good year seems like the better option for a competition than 2 guys with shaky at best track records.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Maybes the chiefs just realized they don’t really need a punter. 1

Expand When is McB going to realize that they have the worst punter in the NFL. Just blows my mind how Bozo survives? At least give Turk a chance.

MrSarcasm Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I was about to respond that Bojo was fine last year but then I looked up punters and saw that he was ranked 33rd in punting average last year. Whelp.

Whelp. Expand Just watching the games would tell you that Bojo was far from being fine. He’s horrible and I’m baffled that he still has a job considering how much McD loves him some Special Teams.

Kmart128 Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 While he is a good player who knows when that leg is gonna give out. He has been doing this for 15 years... I'll pass.

Real McClappy Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Biggest weakness on our team is Punter. I'm really happy this is our biggest weakness but very surprised at the same time it is. Edited April 28, 2020 by Real McNasty

Expand Colquitt is almost 38 years old, has made $40,000,000 in his career in the league, and has multiple local endorsement deals in Kansas City where he, his wife, and his kids have lived for 16 years. He’s not moving to Buffalo to compete for a job that would pay him the veteran minimum for one season that may not even happen. He’ll take a cushy job with a local television affiliate and call it a career.
