Could former Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos punter Marquette King be headed to the AFC East? According to a recent report from Adam Schefter of ESPN, both the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins are currently showing interest in the veteran special teamer's services.
While failing to name any other teams in the aforementioned report, Schefter is suggesting that other teams may be interested in King as well.
After originally breaking into the highest level as a member of the heralded Raiders back in 2012, King then went on to spend the majority of his NFL playing career in Oakland before leaving the Bay Area in 2017. He was then picked up by the Broncos en route to remaining in the AFC West for at least one more go-round. King played his collegiate football at Fort Valley State University in Fort Valley, Georgia and went undrafted before latching on with the Raiders.

Over the course of his NFL playing career as a whole, King has tallied 446 punts for 20,822 yards while placing 163 of those attempts inside the 20-yard line. Not only that, but he is averaging 46.7 yards per punt with his longest attempt clocking in at a whopping 72 yards.
Both the Bills and Dolphins missed out on the postseason with the tandem of AFC East franchise obviously forced to compete alongside the insanely consistent New England Patriots. It is also worth noting that the New York Jets should be better come 2019-20 as well.
