Veteran cornerback Kevin King will remain with the only NFL team he’s played for.

King is re-signing with the Packers on a one-year, $6 million deal, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

The 25-year-old King arrived in Green Bay as the 33rd overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft. He has missed plenty of time with injuries and has struggled at times in coverage. He committed a high-profile and controversial pass interference penalty late in the Packers’ NFC Championship Game loss to the Buccaneers.

I sorta called it about a week ago. They just didn't seem interested in the CB market, which I thought meant they were bringing back their guy.

King does have more potential, I'm just not sure if anyone can pull it out of him.

What are the odds that the Packers simply resign Kevin King?

Packers like younger, and I think he's younger than a lot of the other available options. They know what he can do. I'm thinking one year deal, maybe signing two CBs. Give him someone to compete with too.

I feel like what he did in the NFCCG was on purpose. Fuck this guy.

Maybe they resigned him so that the new DC will have someone to blame when we lose another NFC title game.
I don’t know.....6 million....for what? When needed in the biggest game, he imploded.
If that’s the best the Packers can do, they are in trouble.
There has to be millions of Packer fans shaking their heads right now.
Well, one guy will be very happy about this...........Tom Brady.

Someone isn't going to embarrass themselves on national TV, in the playoffs, in a contract year, with the Super Bowl on the line, on purpose.

King had always had his struggles, just Bucs did a better job of exposing them, which wasn't helped by some of the play calls and Safeties.

I don't believe that was on purpose, but if it was on purpose, my guess would be the play caller, not the player. As I believe both outside CBs played inside leverage when you'd least expect them to. Just Alexander handled it better, and King was on a mismatch, as he's always struggled against quickness and speed.

Also, it's too bad we couldn't of had an audible, and had Savage cover the speed WR and King cover the TE. I feel like that would of been better matchups.


And I still don't understand why you have Redmond at FS... that potentially might of cost us the game... of course, having him elsewhere might of been picked on more.

But Redmond dropped one of the easiest INTs of the game before halftime. Then right before halftime, he tripled covered the center of the field, even the guy were already perfectly doubled. This left King in a one on one against speed.

Not shocked at all. King has his moments where he's pretty good. He also has moments where he struggles.

I looked over the Mike Clay list in the 2021 Free Agent thread. Maybe Malcom Butler PFF 71.6; Brian Poole 77.1 or perhaps Bashaud Breeland 67.7 would have worth a look.
KK's PFF grade was 55.7.

Was part of his problem the back injury?
I actually hope that it was a big part of his bad play in the NFC title game.
If that was the case, why didn’t they put someone else in the game? If they didn’t have someone better, then they didn’t have a choice.

It's just inconsistent play.

Also, when LaFleur talked about the CBs, he honestly kind of shocked me how highly he talked about King toward the end of the season.

I wonder if King might look better in practice against the Packers bigger WRs, which are better matchups for him, then he does in games.

That or LaFleur sees the bump and run press man potential of King, which he cited he was hoping to see more press which I think everyone agrees with, except maybe King whom on the field keeps seemingly getting further and further away from the line. I doubt that's by design. Wonder what he's being taught vs what he is doing.

Still need to draft two CBs, and one needs to be in the top two rounds.

I'm thinking Packers go CB, WR, then Linemen in the draft.

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
