They may have committed something to him wink/nod and this allows them to get him in the team learning/practicing.   Keep in mind a guy signed to the 53 after week 1 is not guaranteed salary so they may want to do that.

Yeah I am sure it is going to let him get up to speed without taking a roster spot. I guess I got to get used to we get some of these breaks with players being a great team.

He turns 31 tomorrow and is not a particularly good player. He’s serviceable though. Heck, as of today that might make him the best MLB on the roster. And he’s always seemed to be a good dude - the kind of person you want to root for. 

last year:

124 tackles

7 TFL

3 sacks

2 Ints

 

What with the above isn't particularly good.

 

Compared to the $18m wonder who had the following for the Bills last year:

102 tackles

1 sack

1 Int

  Well they are posting his priority is winning so this wins on a number of points.  He'll have time to learn the defense, they can even rotate the lbs if they all perform well in schemes they run.  Read he's good friends with Hyde and Poyer was it?  If so, easy to think they discuss various schemes they play in in offseason and might have him up to speed in no time.   And easy enough to move players to from ps, though not sure of all the tweaks they may have in place for practice squads.  However since to be signed off another PS the player has to agree and a vet knows the grass is not always greener when you chase the $$.   

 

 

Agree still getting used to this getting good players to sign on the PS thing. I do like having a great treat to play around with the roster like this but always does take the player to agree as well. I am guessing will be on the 53 soon enough. Still getting used to being great and having a competent front office to sell these roster games

I believe PS players have the ability to decide to stay with the team/on the PS if someone does try to get him. Kinda like Free Agents.

Yes they are UFAs essentially. No one can “poach” them the player has to agree to the contract.

Correct - and he probably had other opportunities to join 53 man rosters.  He'll get healthy, learn the defense and be our starting MLB sooner than later

Big issue with Kirksey will be his durability. He's suffered a bunch of soft tissue type of injuries over the past few years that have taken him out of the lineup.  Last year was an outlier for him with regards to health.
