For Desmond King, the adventure won’t continue with the Houston Texans.
The former Pro Bowl cornerback was among the Texans’ cuts Monday. King took to X (formerly Twitter) to express gratitude for the city and fan base.
“THANK YOU HOUSTON,” King tweeted.
THANK YOU HOUSTON 🙏🏾🥷🏾

According to safety Jimmie Ward, King was one of the defensive backs who caught his eye when he signed with the Texans.
“They really impressed me when I got here,” Ward told reporters July 27. “‘Des’ King in the nickel —like, the dude is so athletic. I think he wears like a three-X glove. I knew he was good.”
King generated 127 combined tackles, 11 tackles for loss, two quarterback hits, five interceptions, 14 pass breakups, a forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries through 33 games for the Texans, 25 of which he started.
