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.

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin

Mucky Tundra (30-Jul) : Zero, regarding Ewers, you are correct.
