  • Akeem King: Time up in Buffalo

    The Bills cut King on Sunday.

    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.

  • Bills' Akeem King: Signs with Buffalo

    King signed with Buffalo on Sunday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    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.

  • Seahawks' Akeem King: Makes three starts in 2019

    King posted 17 tackles and two pass breakups over 13 regular-season appearances in 2019.

    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, and if he returns to Seattle, he'll likely be in line for a reserve role with Shaquill Griffin and Tre Flowers still under contract.

  • Seahawks' Akeem King: Set for increased role Sunday

    King should see increased defensive snaps Sunday against the Panthers, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    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.

  • Seahawks' Akeem King: Re-ups with Seattle

    King signed a one-year deal worth $1.4 million with the Seahawks on Friday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

    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.

  • Seahawks' Akeem King: Limited impact in reserve role

    King registered 21 tackles (16 solo) while appearing in all 16 of the Seahawks' regular-season contests in 2018.

    King was only given serious responsibility on defense twice, playing a combined 119 defensive snaps between Weeks 2 and 17 and just 26 in the other 14 games. Those added reps often stemmed when injuries sidelined players ahead of him on the depth chart. King will be a free agent in March and could be retained as a reserve safety and special-teams contributor.

  • Seahawks' Akeem King: Promoted from practice squad

    King was promoted to the Seahawks' 53-man roster from their practice squad Saturday, NFL.com reports.

    King will benefit from Dontae Johnson (groin) being placed on injured reserve. He spent the 2017 season on the team's practice squad, so he will now get an opportunity under the bright lights. Still, he only projects to provide depth at cornerback, while also lending a hand at special teams.

  • Akeem King: Dropped by Falcons

    King was waived by the Falcons on Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.

  • Falcons' Akeem King: Records interception in preseason loss

    King (undisclosed) recorded an interception in the Falcons' preseason loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

    King, an exclusive-rights free agent, was tendered by the Falcons during the offseason.

    King (undisclosed), an exclusive-rights free agent, was tendered by the Falcons on Thursday, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

  • Falcons' Akeem King: Ends season on IR

    King ended the 2016 season on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury.

    King was looking to improve on a rookie season in 2015 that saw him record just one tackle in five games, but he was placed on IR prior to the start of the regular season. He'll be looking to bounce back and secure a depth position in the Falcons' secondary in 2017.

    King recorded one tackle in five games of limited work in his rookie season.
