King joins Atlanta after five busy seasons from 2017 to 21. King was initially picked by the Green Bay Packers in the second round from Washington. After four years on a rookie contract, King and the Packers agreed to a one-year deal in 2021.
King elected to sit out the 2022 season due to personal reasons.
