Mazrimiv Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Depends on what kind of guarantees he's looking for. I'd go 3/36 if there are minimal guarantees in years 2-3 of the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I like King, a lot. But I'd let him walk and simply draft another corner with one of our first two picks. He simply isn't available enough. Maybe that trend ends this year, maybe it doesn't. But I wouldn't take the chance. I'm actually so set into this thought that I'd rather re-sign Jones for $10M/year, if I had to choose between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebpackfan Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 What I like to think about when considering whether to sign our FAs is how scared would I be if he (or she) signed with a division rival. I have to say on a scale where 10 is “a g-g-g-ghost?” and 1 is teetering at the top of a bunny hill, my scaredy-cat level of King signing with a division rival is about a 2. Let him go, and then line up AJ Dillon wide, throw the WR screen and watch King dive at his legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smidgeon Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) In a normal cap year, resign KK all day long. The only reason I'm uncertain is the cap situation for next year. Picking late in the first round doesn't guarantee anything. Especially not a premium position like CB (which I feel has a decent bust rate already). Some were clamoring for Josh Jackson instead of Jaire. If it had been Jackson, we'd be considering that a missed pick (the AJ Hawk conversation, but later in the round). I'd still consider signing him, but next year's cap is both fluid and unknown. Schrodinger's Cap.

incognito_man Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 King won't be back. He will probably pull a Casey Hayward, get paid more than he's played worth the last 4 years here, and turn into an All-Pro in the AFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for 2021's version of Ladarius Gunter and Damarious Randall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a top 3ish guy and some upside behind him. If he doesn't get paid on his upside, he might stay, but no way am I coming CLOSE to paying him $10million/yr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ready to invest in DL/OL and let DB stay put for a change. Way too much capital there lately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe you mean draft capital, but we don't need to replace King with a high draft pick. We have pieces on the roster that can grow, and there will certainly be better value on the market than King. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything on this roster that instills any confidence in me that we can just replace King with what's here. Unlike OL and RB. I'm pretty convinced if the money doesn't go to King, it goes to Linsley or Jones. I don't think this organization let's all 3 go to shop in the outside market. Meaning we'll grab help at the position we don't re-sign in the draft. 2019 King is worth 15 per, this year's King is probably worth 8. To get him for 10 is not an overpay at all IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King is ranked 30th in the OP passer rating against. The 30th highest paid CB is currently making $7 per. Factor in availability discount, and I don't think about signing him for anything more than $7 per. 2/12 with a reasonable exit after year one is palatable. Anything more than that is an overpay for who he IS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having King as their #1 would make for some fun football tv. Agree with incog, he's ok but not worth 10 mil a year especially with tight cap next year.
