Dixon signed a contract with the Rams on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Dixon served as the Giants' primary punter for the last four seasons, but he was released by New York this offseason. As of now, he's slated to be the reigning Super Bowl champion's Week 1 punter after the Rams released Johnny Hekker, who had been with the team for a decade, in March.

Dixon was released by the Giants on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Dixon performed as one of the better punters around the league in recent years, though he lost distance in each of the last two seasons. The move will save the Giants $2.8 million in cap space and leaves Jamie Gillan as the team's likely punter in 2022.

The Giants placed Dixon on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Dixon has either tested positive for the virus or come into close contact with an infected person. The Giants promoted Ryan Santoso from the practice squad earlier this week to cover for Dixon and kicker Graham Gano, who was placed on the COVID-19 list Tuesday. With the Giants on a Week 11 bye, there is enough time for both Dixon and Gano to clear the league's protocols and play in Week 12 against the Bengals.
