Brad Wing signs 3-year, $6.45M extension with Giants

Published: Jul 11, 2016 at 07:11 AM

The New York Giants are pleased with what they've seen from punter Brad Wing.

Wing signed a contract extension Monday that will keep him in New York through the 2019 season. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported the extension is worth three years and $6.45 million, per a source informed of the deal. The punter, who was acquired in a trade with Pittsburgh last year, averaged 44.5-yards gross and had a 38.9-yards net average on 76 punts in 2015.

In his first season in The Big Apple, Wing placed 33 punts inside the 20-yard line, which tied the Giants' single-season record set by Brad Maynard in both 1997 and 98.
