I think we overpaid him. Looking at the other salaries for punters around the league, he's getting paid like a pro bowler and top 5 punter. He's not. His stats don't back up...even taking into account the short field and attempts...he's not even top in % of punts inside the 20.
Colquitt was 27th in the league in punts attempted at 65. He got paid 2 million last season. That's roughly $31,000 per punt. He punted 3 times in the playoffs...and had a punt in the super bowl where he screwed up. Should have been inside the 20...maybe even 10 but he short legged it to the 30.
His cap for the remainder of the contract is as follows:
2014 - 3.25 million
2015 - 3.75 million
2016 - 4.00 million
2014 salary cap will be 126.3 million...that means he will take up 2.7% of the cap in 2014.
That means, if we paid every player what we're paying Colquitt in 2014...we'd only be able to field 37 guys on the roster.
Upcoming season, he will be getting paid around $40,000 - $50,000 per punt depending on how many attempts he has.
Yup. 1 punt = making more than the average American. It will take him less than 10 seconds to do so.
