The Houston Texans faced numerous decisions this offseason, after signing a horde of players to one-year contracts last offseason. This year, Maliek Collins has signed on for two more years, and Desmond King is joining him as well. King signed a two-year contract worth $7 million.
This wasn’t surprising, after it was reported Houston was working to extend King last week. It is a strange move to make, considering that, no, King wasn’t a good outside cornerback last year, and two, Tavierre Thomas taking over the slot made King expendable. King is going to play outside cornerback again, get torched in man coverage and cover three, and will occasionally make a nice tackle or secure a ball that bounds his way.
