The Raiders surprisingly released punter Marquette King on Friday
King had formed a formidable 1-2 punch with long-time Oakland place kicker Sebastian Janikowski, who missed the 2017 regular season with an injury. King was at the team's facility Friday to try to meet with coaches only to get intercepted by general manager Reggie McKenzie before he got the chance to do so and notified of his release, per NFL Media's Mike Garafolo.
King was sixth in the National Football League in 2017 on yards per punt (47.4) and tied for 15th for kicks inside the 20 (28).
The Oakland Raiders have signed free agent cornerback Leon Hall, according to ESPN's Field Yates. He earned consensus All-American honors as a senior in 2006, leaving as the school's record holder with 43 passes defensed.

But now is the time to rebuild our country, to take care of our people and to fight for our great American workers for a change. Trump says he may hold up the agreement "because it's a very strong card and I want to make sure everyone is treated fairly".
King was a 2017 Pro Bowl alternate and 2016 Second-Team All-Pro who keeps a higher, quirky profile than many at his position.
He was originally drafted in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft out of MI. After playing his first three seasons with the Jaguars, Nelson spent six seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals from 2010-15. He also appeared in five postseason games over his career.
