Monty98 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 He's a guy I'd consider for the Lo role, move him to the Sam spot and let him go to work on the run game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Smells a lot like a Trent Murphy. Good player that has been hurt. I would definitely look at him for a Lorax Role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Absolutely. He’s the interchangeable Sam/Will type that McDermott loves, is a coach’s player, knows some of the guys, and... ...won’t count against the comp pick formula ? 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 His Draft Profile shows him as a OLB https://withthefirstpick.com/2014/04/16/2014-nfl-draft-scouting-report-christian-kirksey-olb-iowa/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritBill Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 It looks like it was chest injury which kept him out last year. Not as concerning as other injuries despite the length of time it stopped him from playing. I reckon this has a modern day Bills move all over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a great candidate for a prove-it or an incentive laden deal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Lorax played a little less than half the snaps a year ago. Not sure how many of these were as a primary pass rusher, but i'll assume a relatively low%. Figure another DE will be needed unless they bring back lawson. Same goes for replacing phillips. Someone needs to take those snaps - i think mcD would prefer a vet. If only to push some of the younger guys to play their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Guy doesn’t miss a game his first 4 years. Gets PAID for a 4-3 and can’t stay healthy. that being said, I’d love to snag him, but I feel that, despite his injuries, he’s going to get a decent contract, not similar to the one we signed KJ to last year.

Dont Stop Billeiving Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Think he would take the deal we just gave to Norman? 1 year prove it deal, $6 million base with a potential $2 million more in incentives. Could be a win-win for Kirksey and the Bills. A replacement for Lorax for us and a chance to stay healthy and play among one of the league's best defenses for him. Get it done Beane!

Smitty75 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 What are his strengths / weaknesses ? I heard a lot of good things about him, but I never really seen him play ! But if he could be a good fit, let’s sign him to a cheap deal (because he has history of injuries). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the Browns wanted to keep him but at a lower salary and he instead chose to be released. Not sure what his market will be. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 If he's a good player, who has trouble playing a ton of snaps... well, that sounds perfect for a team that spends a lot of time in Nickel. No-brainer to sign him given his talent, likely contract, and the fact we aren't relying on him to play a ton of snaps every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 One of the best tacklers in the league, when healthy ofc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
