— Mike Klis (@MikeKlis) October 6, 2018 King signed a three-year. $6 million contract with the Broncos in April, but Denver won’t suffer too much pain on the dead money side of things as King will count just $166,666 against the cap through 2020. They will also eat $1.5 million of King’s salary this season.
