The Bills cut King on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
King was cut to make room for Duke Williams to come off the reserve/COVID-19 list. The 27-year-old King, who played a depth role in 13 games with Seattle last season, will look to catch on with another organization in a similar capacity.

King signed with Buffalo on Sunday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bills brought King in for a visit last week, and with cornerback E.J. Gaines opting out for the 2020 season Sunday, it's a 1-for-1 tradeoff to bring the former into the fold. Tre'Davious White, Levi Wallace and Josh Norman appear set as the top three corners, but King -- a former Falcon and Seahawk -- will have a fair chance to compete for a depth role.

King posted 17 tackles and two pass breakups over 13-regular season games in 2019.
EDGE Analysis
King started three games, but outside of those contests, he recorded double-digit defensive snaps on just two occasions. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent in March if he's not re-signed by the Seahawks. If he sticks with the squad, a similar role is expected in 2020 with Shaquill Griffin and Tre Flowers still under contract.

King should see increased defensive snaps Sunday against the Panthers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
King typically plays about 50 percent of defensive snaps but is in line for a heavier workload Sunday with Shaquill Griffin (hamstring) sidelined. Ugo Amadi likely will fill in as the nickel cornerback for Seattle.

King signed a one-year deal worth $1.4 million with the Seahawks on Friday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He suited up for 15 regular-season games in 2018 and made one defensive start. King worked mainly on special teams and recorded 21 tackles (16 solo). He'll likely continue to work in a reserve role behind Bradley McDougald and Tedric Thompson in 2019.

King made 21 tackles (16 solo) in the 2018 season.
EDGE Analysis
King was only given serious responsibility on defense twice, playing a combined 119 defensive snaps between Week 2 and Week 17 and just 26 among the other 14 games. Those added reps often stemmed from injuries in front of him, but Tedric Thompson also outplayed King for a majority of the campaign. King will be a free agent in March, and he could be kept around as a reserve again.

King was promoted to the Seahawks' 53-man roster from their practice squad Saturday, NFL.comreports.
EDGE Analysis
King will benefit from Dontae Johnson (groin) being placed on injured reserve. He spent the 2017 season in their practice squad, so he will now get an opportunity under the bright lights. Still, he just projects to provide depth at cornerback, while also lending a hand at special teams.

King was waived by the Falcons on Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite a decent showing in the preseason, King faced an uphill battle to earn a roster spot out of camp. That dream has officially come to an end, having been handed his walking papers by Atlanta.
