#Raiders had less than $1m in cap space (per NFLPA records), but cutting King is still a surprise. They'll save $2.9m.

King was a second-team All-Pro in 2016. He is also one of the most interesting and exciting punters in the game, even if that could get him in trouble sometimes. Expect him to find a new landing spot sooner rather than later.
