He would be like our third string nickel?

Why would you want a 6th year player that just got cut that far down your roster? That is a spot for a young developing player.

He would be our starting nickel, Right now he is likely an upgrade to what we have unless JR is ready to beat him out.  You play him until the younger player develops into a better player than the vet.  He's definitely better than Herndon but the rest of our younger corners is unproven.  If we add King and a younger player is able to beat him out then we are in a much better position at nickel than we were last year.  Just like I'd like to add Melvin Ingram as well.  Play Ingram until a younger player can beat him out.  Ingram at 34is better than Chaisson even though Chaisson is younger.
