Punter
The Giants have only Riley Dixon on the roster as far as punters go and it doesn’t look like they’re going to add any competition for him, especially considering the new roster restrictions brought about by COVID-19.
The Giants signed Dixon to a three-year contract extension worth $8.7 million last December, which made him one of the highest-paid punters in the NFL.
That contract felt justified given that Dixon was among the Giants’ most consistent players in 2019 and we felt even warranted Pro Bowl consideration.
“He’s had a good year, he really has,” McGaughey told reporters in December. “I think he’s turned a corner. He’s enjoying punting. I think today he might have hit 3,000 balls. He’s enjoying it, he’s enjoying his craft. He’s feeling himself turn that corner. Everything is starting to click for him a little bit more now.”
Dixon punted the ball 69 times for 3,178 yards last season, including a long of 62 and a per punt average of 46.1, which represented a career high.
