This may be the biggest one year turnover of players in NFL history

This guy was awesome in Special Teams back in 2018. Good pick up!

I've thought that King was playing out of position as a nickel CB. I think his best fit is as a combo Safety. Interested in how Lovie might utilize King.

I agree. And I like this pickup.

This is what Jimmy Johnson and the 90s Cowboys were doing with Plan B and the waiver wire.

I think King can be a really good outside zone CB, seeing the ball. Just dont ask him to play man to man outside or in the slot. I know he would be a really good FS, he's got great ball skills. Pair King with Reid at S and you would have a huge upgrade over Murray and his slide tackling self. LMAO What a waste of $$$$ spending on Murray.

A CB room of King/Mitchell/Roby while not great is better than what they had last yr. I'm still hoping they draft a couple of CB's in the 3rd/4th rd. My favorites are Joseph/Gowan/Vincent/Rochelle. Drafting 2 of these guys would allow King to play FS. They all have 1 thing in common, they're fast.

BTW, Could you post an order and rd the Texans are drafting from?

Look over there, past the horizon. That’s the ship that sailed out of Houston two days ago.

I've been a fan of Desmond King going back to his college days. I think Lovie Smith's system is a good fit for him. He's a very instinctive player who has had success in college and NFL on both defense/special teams despite his physical limitations.

He has made a good living as a slot CB. But he could be a combination S/CB

Things change. He was traded for a 6th round pick last year , then signed for $3 million this offseason. Clearly not considered to be the same player as before. And this is King’s biggest payday, to date.

Who was Kings traded to? I thought he was with the Chargers

King was traded during the 2020 season to the Titans. Part of the Tennessee secondary that held the Texans to 680 yards passing and 76 points over 2 games.
