I'm almost surprised we haven't signed him already.

Why are you surprised? Tom will not want to spend that kind of money on a punter when we can get a rookie that can possibly just as good.  The best punter class in draft history.  We could save that 2.5 or 3 mil and use towards resigning our guys

If it weren't for money, Raiders would have kept him too.

They got like 17M in cap space and FA period is basically over. I don't know if it's all about money like you say. Maybe Gruden just doesn't want such a diva punter. Maybe nobody does, because he is still a FA. I know I don't want a diva punter lol.

Rumor is Gruden cut him due to personalities clashing.

Not really....

Quote:The Oakland Raiders cut Marquette King, which saved $2.9 million against the cap.

Jon Gruden reportedly made the call to cut King as he had issues with the personality of the punter.

Jack Del Rio said in 2016 that he had grown tired of King after he picked up 15-yard personal foul penalties in back-to-back games.

They’ve never even met but I think gruden is just sending a message about his idea of what he wants in his team. The guys not a diva, geez, he just celebrates a good punt. Is everyone celebrating TD’s a diva now?

Wow, I hadn't followed him closely enough to know he was such a problem child. I didn't know about the personal fouls.

A coach with discipline would have made sure his first PF was his last.

Punters should be seen and not heard...
Or something like that.

I've never seen a punter act the way King does... hey man nice punt and all... but quit jumping around and dancing like you hit the game winning FG..... you're punting, it's probably not a good thing.

Lol Yep. Thats like when someone starts talking crap after a big and their team is down three scores.... Dude you are getting your [BLEEP] kicked.

Unless the are cheering for receiving team, No fan in the stadium is stoked that the punter is on the field instead of the QB lol.

I thought he was just a showboat on the field. I didn't realize it extended off the field, too. Wow.

Signs with the Broncos.

He's gonna break records there.

Biggest leg in the league + Denver air = 50-yard gross average in 2018?

Could well believe it.

McAfee had a similar swagger to him

Anyone know what his contract is? He was not worth what Oakland was paying.

Quote:According to 9News' Mike Klis the All-Pro punter signed essentially a two-year, $4 million deal with a third-year option worth an additional $2 million. He'll count $2 million against the salary cap in 2018 ($1.5 million base salary and a fully-guaranteed $500,000 signing bonus). In 2019, he'll make a non-guaranteed $2 million.

If Denver opts to exercise his option, they'll have to pick up the $2 million by March of next offseason. His 2020 salary would jump to $3 million -- unlocking a maximum three-year, $7 million -- if he qualifies for another first-team All-Pro selection.
