Kevin King returns to Packers on one-year deal

The Packers have re-signed cornerback Kevin King to a one-year $6 million deal according to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

King, a second-round pick in 2017, was an unrestricted free agent this spring after an abysmal 2020 that ended with a pronounced thud. Tom Brady and the Buccaneers repeatedly targeted King, burning him twice on their opening drive (once on a key third-down conversion, once for a touchdown) and then again right before halftime. Then, King committed a holding penalty on what became the Buccaneers’ final drive, sealing the win for Tampa Bay.
