The way McBeane has handled MLB is the biggest headscrater of their tenure. Didn't Kirksey replace Cunningham in Houston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way it gives him the chance to leave for another team should he not get elevated and become our starting MLB by say week 2/3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, they can save a roster spot and just elevate him on game days up to 4x. I don't know why you wouldn't take advantage of that if you have a vet willing to sign to the PS>. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something fishy about him not practicing all summer with a hammy and then healthy the moment he’s released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I don’t see how anyone could be upset about this. They added a starting caliber veteran MLB to the practice squad. I think most bills fans probably would’ve been ok adding Kirksey to the 53 man roster. Getting him on the practice squad (to start with anyway) is even better. At worst, it’s a good veteran addition to the locker room, a good insurance policy at MLB and better depth than AJ Klein. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenosha2Buffalo Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 This is a great move, and one that makes a lot of sense with fans asking for it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnNord Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 1 hour ago, ndirish1978 said: This is a REALLY interesting move. I’m surprised he signed with the PS when he likely could’ve gotten a spot in a roster. Also, I think the move potentially puts Dodson on the bubble.

Don Otreply Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 1 hour ago, BBFL said: Was looking through transactions around the league from the past week and missed Isaiah Simmons getting traded from AZ to NYG for a 7th round pick… Shame we didn’t enquire or put an offer for him. Kirksey is serviceable but this really makes the LB situation outside Milano more concerning. No it doesn’t 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait'll he hears the bad news from @FilthyBeast This is a nice move all things considered and have not going to knock Beane for it but who knows what type of interest he was receiving on the open market. Doubt any other serious contenders were interested especially those with serious LB talent like Chiefs/Dolphins/Bengals/Eagles/49ers/etc. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just can't trust this guy I mean it’s coming from a guy that basically gave Teller away, threw away Ford, and bag of peanuts for Boogie and a fiasco with 3rd round RBs. Just once I’d like to draft an all pro outside of Allen. 3 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 From Wikipedia: Quote Kirksey is featured in Madden NFL 15; however, when used in the gamemode "Madden Ultimate Team", he is on the Tennessee Titans; due to a glitch, his in-game avatar appears as 1 ft 2 in in height, which makes him the first "Foottall" player in Madden history.[50] Kirksey later appeared in a trailer EA Sports created for the game that features the glitch.[51] I always wanted the Bills to have a little person LB so I am happy. 7 minutes ago, HOUSE said: Wait a minute, Beane said the starter was already on the roster.

Eastport bills Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Great signing. This guy is a cap casualty and had #s like Edmunds for tackles plus our safeties have experience with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
