I THINK he only gets the prorated salary, so around $325k. Still, that's $325k he wouldn't have had if he'd retired.
Wonder why the Steelers are cutting him, though. He's been fine this season from what I can tell, and it's not like he's commanding a huge salary. [Reply]

I could be wrong but is Butker's yips being caused by the way our new punter is catching and placing the ball for him? He's always been used to Colquitt. :-) [Reply]

Colquitt was last in the NFL in Net Punting. Since the rosters have expanded for Covid this season, Steelers had a rookie on the practice squad as a replacement. They have a little concern about how he'll do holding for field goals, but Tomlin wanted better production in the punt game. Can't blame him, he's in a battle for the AFC North and every yard matters. [Reply]
