The Atlanta Falcons announced the signing of veteran cornerback Kevin King on Monday according to the team's official website.

King was a 2017 second-round pick of the Packers and he played five seasons with the team before sitting out the 2022 season. King hoped to get healthy after missing chunks of time with various injuries, but he tore his Achilles last spring while training for a return to action.  King had 197 tackles, seven interceptions, 30 passes defensed, one sack, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries in 51 games for Green Bay.

Details of the contract have not been announced but are likely close to the veteran minimum given that King has missed the last two NFL seasons.
