KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Chiefs have agreed to a three-year, $7.5 million contract with longtime punter Dustin Colquitt on Thursday, a deal that could ensure he plays the rest of his career in Kansas City.
His representatives at CAA said the deal could be worth up to $9 million with incentives.
Colquitt, who turns 36 in May, was a third-round pick of the Chiefs in 2005 and has proceeded to have one of the best punting careers in franchise history. He has appeared in all but two Chiefs games over the past 13 seasons, earning Pro Bowl appearances in 2012 and 2016.
The Chiefs expected to get a deal with Colquitt done soon after free agency began, and general manager Brett Veach alluded to it happening "soon" when he addressed reporters Wednesday.
Colquitt's father, Craig, and uncle were also professional punters, and his brother Britton spent last season with the Browns after six seasons with the Broncos.
That lineage has earned them the label "The first family of fourth down."
