East Rutherford, NJ (Best E Casino) - The New York Giants signed ageless punter Jeff Feagles to a two-year contract extension Tuesday. The 2008 season will be the 21st for Feagles, who will turn 42 next month. At 41 years, 333 days, he became the oldest player in Super Bowl history when he played in New York's stunning 17-14 upset of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Feagles punted 71 times in the regular season, with a 40.4 yard gross average and a 36-yard net average, placing 25 punts inside the 20. His numbers were similar in the postseason, with a gross average of 40.4 yards and a net of 37.8 yards with five balls inside the 20 among his 19 kicks. The NFL career leader for punts (1,585), yards (65,793) and punts inside the 20 (508), Feagles has not missed a game in 20 years, playing in 320 consecutive regular season contests, 38 more than runner-up Vikings defensive end Jim Marshall. |
