Sources: The #Giants are in the process of trading for #Broncos P Riley Dixon. When Marquette King signed in Denver, he was on the trading block and NYG swooped in. Punter - ( New Window )
The kid is a good player . He does not get the yips when he’s backed up nor does he when he faces a crucial situation . He’s got the feisty, eat-shit demeanor displayed by Jennings , Landetta and Feagles . Looking at his stats, can’t figure out why Denver choose to go in another direction.
As noted above by Flair , Dodge was a choke artist . That’s the deal with him .
We're still 2nd on the waiver wire, and with what they've given King they're going to release him
It's for a conditional 7th round pick. So if he doesn't make the team, we probably don't send Denver the pick. Also, there's probably no cap hit if we cut him.
Wing lost games for the Giants with his shanks. Having a punter who does not shank could be one or two more wins per year. Get the kicker to not kick off out of bounds and you get one or two more wins.
COMBINE 2016
STRENGTHS
Good ratio of hang time to distance punted. Forced a whopping 40.8 percent (2014) and 42.4 percent (2015) fair catches over his last two seasons. Played with poise when pressure was coming. Able to dig low snaps off the turf. Able to control punts near end zone with just nine touchbacks over the last two years.
WEAKNESSES
Average leg strength. Punting average helped along by some bounce and roll punts. Dome kicker who showed some issues with wind at times when venturing outdoors.
Snacks just called out Benjamin Albright on Twitter Â

I believe it has to do with the cap impact of cutting someone that is traded for versus claimed off waivers because in a waiver claim you are assuming the rest of the contract versus in a trade there are cap accelerations to the original team.
is a joke. Trading a conditional seventh is trading a draft asset? What a freaking clown
I have no issue with this trade, even if it wasn’t a conditional pick. I’d rather get a guy with some experience than go with a rookie like we did with Matt Dodge. I mean how often do you hit on a seventh rounder anyway. I can’t think of one aside from Bradshaw that has done much of anything for us the last several years.

Snacks is a savage, best/favorite player on this team
