Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers agreed to a new one-year contract with Kevin King, bringing back the embattled and oft-injured cornerback for the 2021 season. The deal was reported to carry $6 million in total compensation, but details are now available to fully evaluate the contract.
Thanks to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, we know the following:
King gets a $3.75 million signing bonus with a $1 million base salary, $200,000 in per-game active roster bonuses, and around $1 million in incentives. However, the Packers managed to make this contract count for just $1,887,500 in salary cap money for the 2021 season.
