EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — The New York Giants don’t plan on looking for a new punter anytime soon.
The team announced Monday it has signed punter Brad Wing to a contract extension through 2019. NFL.com reported the three-year extension is worth $6.45 million.
Wing, 25, was acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates in a trade last season. In his first season with the Giants, he averaged 44.5 yards. While his average ranked just 21st in the NFL, his 33 punts downed inside the 20-yard line were the fifth most in the league.
