Quarterback Kyle Sloter had a choice of where he went next. He chose the Cardinals, Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press reports.Six teams, including the Lions, showed interest in signing Sloter, per Tomasson. kyle-sloter-joining-cardinals-practice-squad/

Makes sense an past Bronco!!! Britton Colquitt American Football Player Britton Douglas Colquitt was an American football punter who is currently a free agent. He was originally signed by the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent in December 2009; he was with the Broncos when they won Super Bowl 50 over the Carolina Panthers in 2016. He played college football at Tennessee.

kgdabom -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/1/2019 3:55:24 PM)
Vikings signed P Britton Colquitt. Colquitt was reportedly en route to Buffalo before being lured to Minnesota. The 34-year-old punter has ties to new Vikings assistant head coach Gary Kubiak stemming from their 2015 Super Bowl together with the Broncos. He'll take over for recently released K/P Kaare Vedvik. Source: Andrew Krammer on Twitter Sep 1, 2019, 4:46 PM ET What doesn't make sense is they say he'll take over for Kaare Vedvik. I think he will take over for Wile.

Maybe Spielman has decided to keep an extra kicker so Zimmer has one to mess with while the other 2 actually do the kicking and he doesn't get to mess with them.

I was thinking the same thing, but wouldn't it make more sense to have Bailey and Colquitt, w/ Vedvic's potential being stashed incase?

Texans release Matt Kalil. We could heat up some leftovers. Yum!

Blasingame, Collins, the two WRs and the two LBers. Yeah. Our linebacker and receiver corps on the 53 are a bit skinny, but they are kept on the team through the practice squad. Nice.

Bruce Johnson -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/1/2019 4:50:10 PM)
I remember Colquitt. He comes from a family of punters, including his father and brother. I don't know if he does kickoffs or long field goals. A quick check shows that he does not kick field goals.

Jets claimed Vedvic off waivers.

This is how I'm feeling. I would have taken the Nightingame over Ham, Dillon, or Abdullah. I originally though J Johnson too, but a DT is worth more that a FB. I think we saw the writing on the wall last year. We need to keep the pocket somewhat clean and Cousins is very good. So keep 10 Oline, 4 TE and the best blocking FB. And hope that Thielen and Diggs stay healthy. They have to. If either one misses any time we're screwed. Same with Cousins really too. Nobody wants to see statue Man take any snaps.

thebigo -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/1/2019 6:24:32 PM)
Weirdest thought about this while thing is, Colquist might be an upgrade?

stfrank -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/1/2019 6:31:20 PM)
If they don't think Colquist is an upgrade, it's just another bad move for special teams. To me special teams has been a problem since Zimmer took over, but he no longer has a Sherels or Patterson to occasionally cover his ass.
