The Denver Broncos have signed free agent punter Marquette King to a three-year contract, the team announced on Thursday.
AFC West rival Oakland released King on March 30, parting ways with the popular and productive punter, whose social media presence was just as large as his punts were booming. While the Raiders did not offer a reason for cutting King, there were whispers that new head coach Jon Gruden's old-school ways might not have jibed with King's larger-than-life personality, especially for a punter.
King, 29, originally signed with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2012 and the team signed him to a five-year, $16.
