Raiders Sign Marquette King To Long-Term Deal

The Oakland Raiders locked up their punter for the foreseeable future, signing Marquette King to a long-term extension Monday.

Originally signed as an undrafted free agent in May 2012, King took over the punting duties fulltime in 2013 and in 2015, he set a franchise record with 40 punts placed inside the opponents' 20-yard line.

"The organization gave me an opportunity which I'm really thankful for, and they decided to keep me, so that feels good, just to know that they trust me enough, and for me, it just makes me want to work even harder," said King.
