Cordarrelle Patterson on Marquette King’s Raiders Exit: ‘People Didn’t Like Him’
New England Patriots wideout Cordarrelle Patterson said on Good Morning Football on Wednesday 11th October 2018 that his former teammates on the Oakland Raiders didn’t like punter Marquette King.
“People didn’t like him, dude,” Patterson said, per Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com. “He was kind of like a diva, but he wasn’t. He wouldn’t show it that much. He was just crazy, man. He had fun though. I respect him as a person, but he just did things a little different.”
Pro Football Focus ranked King, 29, third among all punters in 2017 making his release perplexing. When cutting him saved the Raiders $2.85 million against the 2018 cap, it seemed like small savings for a player who also finished third in net punting average.
