| Sun Aug 11 2013 | 18:21 | Broncos extend P Colquitt for 3 years, $11.7M | ||||
Broncos signed P Britton Colquitt to a three-year, $11.7 million extension through 2016. | ||||||
Because Colquitt was due $1.323 million via his restricted tender, it's really a four-year pact worth $13.023 million. The "new money" alone makes Colquitt the league's highest paid punter. Colquitt, 28, comes from a long line of punters that includes Dustin (Chiefs), and former NFLers Craig (Steelers) and Jimmy (Seahawks). Britton holds a career gross punting average of 46.1 yards. | ||||||

Britton Colquitt has pulled ahead of A.J. Trapasso for the Broncos' punting job. | ||||||
"That's a competitive situation, you know, like we have at a lot of places on our football team, and I think that's only making both of them better but at this point, I'd say that Britton has kind of pulled ahead," said coach Josh McDaniels. This is notable for those who play in punter fantasy leagues. | ||||||
