Chiefs Make 2 Major Moves

[Teagz]

With two big-name players about to hit free agency, Kansas City made a couple of moves to keep both of them.​

The Chiefs have placed the franchise tag on offensive tackle Branden Albert and reached an agreement on a new deal for wide receiverDwayne Bowe, who played on the one-year franchise tender last year. A league source tells PFT that it’s a five-year deal for Bowe.​

Kansas City will also be keeping punter Dustin Colquitt, who was also set to become a free agent but agreed to a new deal today as well, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.​

Keeping Albert in the fold is a big move for the Chiefs’ offensive line, although it doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t use the first overall pick in the draft on an offensive tackle. Both Luke Joeckel of Texas A&M and Eric Fisher of Central Michigan have been named as potential first picks for Kansas City.​

punters are underrated :kobe:

 

[Hurricane Season]

Punters are underrated by the majority of fans, but 4 million a year for a punter is nuts.

3.7 doesn't seem to bad if the guy is a elite punter.

 

[elcheato]

The four million could be better spent on guys who are on the field for more than 5 plays a game.

He could be making the minimum this year for all we know.
