There are at least 4 legitimately good punters in this year's draft class. Re-signing Colquitt before the draft was a colossal mistake, but this team is really good at it.

The difference between a rookie and Colquitt's cap hit is probably ~$1.5m, I agree it is a mistake but I wouldn't call it colossal. ~10% of total cap being dead on the other hand...

I think tomorrow I'll put the data back together on punting that I put together a few years ago and repost it. I have a real hard time watching this team overpay punters and there's a reason for it.

No team in the league can blow as much money on the likes of a punter and a fullback as the Kansas City , neither of which have a significant impact in the W/L column. I haven't had time to gather the data again, but when I have the time I'll show you once again that there isn't a significant correlation between having a good punter and having a winning football team. Paying 4 million per for a punter is about as stupid as paying 4 million per for a 3rd string quarterback.

Except that they aren't making$4 million per each. Not quite that combined actually. Colquitt is at about $2.5 million per, and Sherman $1.1 million, about league minimum.

Oh, I'm so incredibly sorry. They have been up to this point. Pure waste.
