Big Blue is reportedly set to acquire punter Riley Dixon through a trade with the Denver Broncos.
The Giants have yet to announce the transaction, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the trade has been finalized.
Adding a punter to the roster ahead of the 2018 NFL Draft was likely not a top priority for first-year general manage Dave Gettleman, but it does answer one of Big Blue’s multiple needs. The Giants reportedly gave up a conditional seventh-round pick in 2019 for the 24-year-old punter.
After releasing Brad Wing in early March, the Giants needed to address the punter position.
