Looks like someone in the NFL still wants to have some fun. The Denver Broncos have scooped up Marquette King on a three-year deal. The team announced the deal Thursday and NFL Networks Ian Rapoport added some details later.

Marquette King was just cut by the Oakland Raiders last Friday due to some “Personality Issues”. King started for five years in Oakland putting up a career-best 42.7 net average on his kicks in 2017. He is also the first player in NFL history to do above 40 for his first 5-years
King was signed by the Broncos to improve on a unit that ranked in 27th in net punting last year with punter Riley Dixon. The Broncos can expect a boost to their special teams now thanks to King and look forward to the next few years of entertainment from the talented kicker.
