Sign Marquette King Now!

[ChambersChamps]

Matt Haack may have been a rookie last year and he may be cheap on the books but King is arguably the best punter in the league. I know many of you are thinking, "Why do we need a new punter?" Or, "Why waste money on a punter?" I'l tell you why. Punters can dramatically change the game with how the can flip the field and also how they can pin opponents deep in their own territory. Since we don' have an elite offense by any means, special teams can be our #1 strength if we get this guy and if we could get a good kicker as well.

if he is so good why did he get cut?

 

[Travis34]

Not that he isn't a good punter, but we just don't really NEED to add him. If we had a plethora of money, sure but we aren't sitting on much

correct

Cuz the Raiders made the genius move of signing him to a 5 year $16.5 million contract last season and Gruden the Raider God realized that was a mistake?

Just a guess but I’m sure his contract numbers were behind it.

If he is a top tier punter 16 million over 5 years doesnt seem an absurd figure. Especially as the guarentee would be lower than 16

It’s high, top 5. His stats last year were middle of the pack though and they obviously didn’t feel he was worth top 5 money.

I would rather draft JK Scott from Alabama in the 7th round. Keep him on a rookie contract for 3 years and reevaluate.

 

[royalshank]

But we have a Hack, Err Haack for a punter.

 

[Coach_Rob]

sorry im not dropping over a mil for a punter, and this guys was making over 3 mil per year. very talented but no thanks

 

[Csonked Out]

if we let our kicker walk over the contract he got, there is no way in hell we are paying money for a punter.

 

[spiketex]

Haack is on the hotseat. He had a few good games but a lot more poor ones that he should have made better yardage. Coach Rizzi assesses all of this and I'm pretty sure that he is looking for his upgrade. Make no mistake, King would be a very good upgrade but as a previous poster commented, we probably have some bigger priorities where the money needs to be directed.

 

[BlueUndertow]

I have a better idea. Just try and convert every fourth down and you don't even need a punter. I hear it's a winning strategy "Never punt"

 

[MelbournePhin]

Never should have replaced darr

He's totally that good. They cut him for cap reasons only. That said we don't need him and the salary he'll want
