SportsBeat KC: Putting a bow on Chiefs draft, and saying goodbye to Dustin Colquitt
The business of NFL football has been on display the last few days for the Kansas City Chiefs. They wrapped up a draft and rookie free-agent signing period on Sunday. And on Tuesday they released veteran punter Dustin Colquitt, who is the franchise leader in career games played and has been one of the team’s most outstanding citizens.
On this episode of the daily SportsBeat KC podcast, Star columnists Vahe Gregorian and Sam Mellinger join Blair Kerkhoff to talk about the draft and how local perception might differ from the national view. Also discussed: how coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach work well together. And you’ll hear from Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt, who spoke to the team’s embrace of the future as Super Bowl champion.
