The Seahawks re-signed restricted free agent Akeem King on Friday. This wasn’t all that surprising as Seattle wanted to keep a player who played in all 16 games for Seattle in 2018. But the team didn’t sign King for cheap. Seattle will pay King a one-year and $1.4 million deal with a $400 thousand signing bonus. With incentives, King could make a bit over $2 million. That amount of money means bad things for Justin Coleman.
Coleman has been Seattle’s slot cornerback the last two seasons and he has been a good one.
