When the Oakland Raiders cut talented punter Marquette King on Friday, New York Giants fans were quick to jump on the “sign him up!” bandwagon. After all, the Giants recently cut their own punter, Brad Wing, and are on the lookout for an upgrade.
King, talent-wise, is definitely that. In 2017, his 47.4-yrds per punt average was sixth in the NFL. The Raiders were third overall in net average per punt at 42.4 yards. With Wing, the Giants were last at 36.7 yards.
Question is, who would Jon Gruden and the Raiders cut bait on a player with King’s ability?
