Kevin King Playing Toward a New Deal

During his first two seasons, Green Bay Packers corner Kevin King was mostly forgettable. That sort of thing tends to happen when you miss more games than you actually play. However, now he enters the final year of his rookie contract and is coming off his best season as a pro. Against all odds, King has gone from draft bust to presumably playing his way toward a second contract with the Packers.

The idea isn’t as crazy now as it was a year ago.

Before last season, King was getting no love as the season approached. Coming off a year in which he only played in six games, fans counted him out before the first snap in practice. Hard to believe how far he had fallen in just two years.

Great. So, he's gonna play lights out, sign a lucrative contract and then disappear. Hey, if Packers win it all because of it, so be it!

Yeah, we’ve seen that before. Play great for a contract, then just collect paychecks.
But like you said, if it got us a super bowl win, that would be great!

Kevin King fits right in there in my mind. When healthy and on the field he is damn good. He's just not that fortunate to be healthy game in and game out.

Even when healthy, I think King is crazy I consistent. King has played absolutely great at times, but also struggled a ton at times and when he makes a mistake, it's usually been a big one leading to at least 30 yards if not more.

King struggles with footwork quickness to keep up with the super quick guys, and cuts/switching directions at full speed.

Also with the reoccuring shoulder injury, which he says he got as a freshman in college.

I'd be slow in giving him a big money deal, though yes, Packers other options aren't that pretty right now.

But maybe CB can be our one big FA from the outside in 2021?

Or maybe King will pull it all together in 2020, or someone else will.

Zero2Cool (5m) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (6m) : HUMP DAY

beast (18m) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (19m) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (24m) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (26m) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (26m) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (28m) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (30m) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (32m) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (1h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (2h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (2h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (2h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (2h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (2h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (2h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (16h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : Packers have $60M+ of 2025 cap space on paper TODAY.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Missed FG into a Lions TD; that'll do pig, that'll do

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : I'm rooting for the Lions to lose.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : God help me but I'm rooting for the Vikings to...Vikings to...Christ I can't say it

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : Chiefs got shutout
