One day after being a healthy inactive in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos, the LA Chargers have traded former All-Pro defensive back, Desmond King. King was traded to the Tennesee Titans for a sixth-round pick, per Ian Rapoport.
King is a huge fan-favorite and the initial reaction from the fans did not seem to be a positive one. Not only are the Chargers seemingly losing an important player, but they did not get that much in return for him.
While it is easy to fall into that line of thinking, when you really zoom out and look at the situation from a wider perspective it becomes clear that the Chargers absolutely made the right move in trading King and the compensation for King was fair.
