Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Jets locked up solid depth at a bargain price, securing Kobe King on a four-year, $4.4M deal that earns a B CVI — a clear value play for a reliable backup linebacker. At just $1.1M annually, King's contract sits well below market rate for even depth pieces at the position, making this the type of smart roster-building move that championship contenders execute consistently. The minimal $200K guarantee shows New York protected itself against downside risk while still committing to a player who has proven he can contribute when called upon. King profiles as exactly what you want from a depth piece: someone who won't hurt you on the field and won't break the bank off it, giving the Jets flexibility to allocate resources to premium positions. This deal represents excellent value hunting by Joe Douglas, adding a competent veteran presence to the linebacker room without hampering the team's ability to make bigger splashes elsewhere on the roster.

Performance Analysis

Kobe King grades as a depth piece among NFL linebackers — a below-average player at the position. His strongest area is tackling at 0.71 (below the NFL average of 3.80), ranking as well below average for the position. Limited games played (14 career) reduces confidence in this grade.
